D#
Two pale figures
Cm
Ache in silence
D#
Timeless
        Cm
in the quiet ground
D#
side by side
   Cm
in age and sadness

   D#
I watched
          Cm
And acted wordlessly
    D#
As piece by piece
        Cm
You performed your story
D#                Cm
Moving through an unknown past
D#              Cm
Dancing at the funeral party

D#            Cm
Memories of childrens' dreams
     D#
Lie lifeless fading
 Cm
Lifeless
D#                 Cm
Hand in hand with fear and shadows
 D#            Cm
Crying at the funeral party

   D#
I heard a song
    Cm
And turned away
    D#
As piece by piece
       Cm
You performed your story
D#             Cm
Noiselessly across the floor
D#              Cm
Dancing at the funeral party
