      Em      Bm         Am      Bm      Em
Where I came from there were no hills at all.
     C                  D     Am             Em
The land was flat, the highway straight and wide.
    Am                   F        C
My brother and I would drive for hours,
           G                D
Like we'd years instead of days,
     Em       Am          D      G
our faces as pale as the dirty snow.

Once I knew there was a love divine
Then came a time I thought it knew me not
Who can forgive forgiveness where forgiveness is not?
Only the lamb as white as snow

Chorus:
         C            Em          C           Em
And the water, it was icy, as it washed over me.
         Am           C      Em    D
And the moon shined above, -bove, me.

Now this dry ground, it bears no fruit at all
Only poppies laugh under the crescent moon
The road refuses strangers
The land the seeds we sow
Where might we find the lamb as white as snow?

As boys we would go hunting in the wood
To sleep the night shooting out the stars
Now the wolves are every passing stranger
Every face we cannot know
If only a heart could be as white as snow
If only a heart could be as white as snow
