[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
You [Am]walk the thinnest of the ice,
so easy to hurt
We drove through the dark in the pouring
rain and barely said a word
So dress your wounds as best you
can and close your tired eyes
Try to climb away from [G]here to
[Am]wards the empty skies
And I'll meet you [F]there, high above it [G]all
In the [Am]kiss of air,
[G]the lover's [Em]breath
[F]Visions [G]rise from [Am]each little death

[Interlude 1]
[Am]

[Verse 2]
As [Am]Moses stands and turns his gaze
away from the feuding tribes
Walks towards the mountains and
through the rocks he climbs
God, he orders Moses - 'Bring
the people to my will'
'Leave me be' cries Moses,
keeps on walking up the hill
And I'll meet you [F]there,
high above it [G]all[Am]
[G]In the kiss [Dm]of air, the lo[Em]ver's breath
[F]Visions rise from each [G]little death
And should the Devil [F]come
and should he [G]say -
'All of this will I [Em]give to [G]you,
[Em]if you j[F]ust bow down and worsh[G]ip me'
I'm on my knees.
[Am]

[Verse 3]
"The white twisted clouds and the
endless shades of blue in the ocean
make the hum of the spacecraft systems,
the radio chatter, even your
own breathing disappear. There is no
cold or wind or smell to tell you
that you are connected to Earth. You have an al[G]most [Am]dispassionate platform - remote,
[C]Oly[G]mpian and yet so mov[Am]ing tha[C]t[G][Am]
[F]you can hardly [G]believe [F]how[G][Am][G][Em][G][Em][F]
[G]emotionally attached [Am]you a[Em]re to t[Am]hose
rough [G]patterns shifting [Em]steadily [G]below[Am]."

[Outro 1]
