C G
You’re a beautiful trace
Am
Of time and space
F
You’re a thing that once shone
C G
And you still shine bright
Am
In the darkest night
F
Though you’re already gone
C G
You have travelled so far
Am
My terminal star
F
In your coat so red
C G
But I still don’t know how
Am
I can watch a thing now
F
When it’s already dead
C
When it’s already dead
G Am F
C G
Just to reach my eyes
Am
You traverse the skies
F
For a hundred million years
C G
I behold your power
Am
In this waukrife hour
F
Just before it disappears
C G
All the stories in stones
Am
And in beakers and bones
F
All the salt in the sea
C G
Are eclipsed by the might
Am
Of your fading light
F
You’re dying so beautifully
C
So beautifully
C G Am F
C G Am F
C G
You’re a beautiful trace
Am
Of time and space
F
You’re a thing that once shone
C G
And you still shine bright
Am
In the darkest night
F
Though you’re already gone
C
Though you’re already gone
G Am F
C G Am F
C G Am F
C G Am F
