Lyrics

Touched by the sun in B V9 130224

Intro
B E F# B (x3)
B E F# B
Repeat

Verse 1

B E F# B
She wakes
In the cool of the shade (high)
F#sus4 (Bsus4 B)
And slowly remembers the plans we made
E E Abm F#
Takes coffee and toast and hope (with marmalade)
NC B E F# B
Together we wait

Verse 2
She stands
In the heat of the day
Silver mirage in shimmering haze
Walls and words and duties get in the way
Together we wait


Chorus
Abm F# E…. B
When she thinks how far…. we’ve come
E motif F#
We’re still touched by the sun


Verse 3
She fights
Empty at last
Red river bed turns to purple dusk
Time and time and time we fight again
Together at night






Bridge (distorted, heavier, chugging)
Guitar solo over keys
Abm E B F# x4 (ascending on keys)

F# Abm E F#
As night falls, the blinding searchlights shining
Abm A F#
Catch us running wildly through the trees
F# Abm E F# Abm
We turn and fade, together one last time
Abm A F#
While shadows dance with all our fears

Verse 4

She dreams
Under clear cold stars
Torn pale sheets cover ragged scars
Blues and greens and miles away from home
We dream alone


Chorus / Outro

Abm F# E…. B
When she thinks how far we’ve come
Abm F# E…. B
When she sees how much we’ve done
Abm F# E…. Ebm
Alice knows our hopes …. have sprung
E motif F# B E F# B x2
And we’re still touched by the sun

Outro: Chorus repeat
