Evening Over Rooftops
Tono: Original
[Intro]
Dm C Bb C Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm
The air was thick like honey
C
Looking from a room
Bb C
The room had open windows
Dm
To let the springtime through
Dm
Evening stood by watchin'
C
At the side of summer's promise
Bb C
The flowers in her garden
Dm
Were the envy of her friends
[Chorus]
Dm
How far are we from dying
C
Is it nearly at an end?
Bb C
How far are we from dying
Dm
Is it nearly at an end?
[Verse 2]
Dm
The smoke hung on the skyline
C
The city fell in silence
Bb C
The sunset, ripe and mellow
Dm
Was the light to write some thoughts by
Dm
Her children watched for father
C
From a window in the wall
Bb C
Said a prayer for grandpapa
Dm
And maybe many more
[Verse 3]
Dm
Somewhere in the distance
C
On the road so far away
Bb C
I heard the sound of life
Dm
Though the people left for home
[Solo]
[Verse 4]
Dm
Three birds flew off a building
C
Standing proud against the sky
Bb C
Many more flew with them
Dm
Spiralled up like laughter
Dm
Faster, harder
C
They rose up in a column
Bb C
Hundreds upon hundreds
Dm
And twice that many wingspeed
[Verse 5]
Dm
Four miles across
C
Stretched a million miles high
Bb C
The living pulsing column
Dm
In the lady of the sky
Dm
Feathers thrashed together
C
Locked in that huge swarm
Bb C
I knew no-one could see it
Dm
And now that it was gone
[Pre-chorus]
Dm
I rubbed my eyes and tried to find
C
A reason for the flight
Bb C
Exodus, escape
Dm
Or was it just for me to see?
Dm
Like the mating of the earth and air
C
Like water is to flowers
Bb C
The envy of her friends
Dm
How far are we from dying, is it nearly at an end?
[Chorus 2]
Dm
How far are we from dying
C
Is it nearly at an end?
Bb C
How far are we from dying
Dm
Is it nearly at an end?
Dm
How far are we from dying
C
Is it nearly at an end?
Bb C
How far are we from dying
Dm
Is it nearly at an end?
Dm
How far are we from dying
C
Is it nearly at an end?
Bb C
How far are we from dying
Dm
Is it nearly at an end?
