Great Lake Swimmers - When It Flows

C..........Fmaj7
When it flows from the fingers

C......Fmaj7
And turns to stone

C......Fmaj7
It shatters with the touch

C................Fmaj7
Feel the air, breathe it in


Turn the corner, take the bend
Give or take the bend
It's a spiralling cork-screw path towards you
It's a sinking, twisted path from me to you


Fmaj7............Em.....................Dm...C
For a second I saw you so clearly (clearly)

Fmaj7............Em.....................Dm...C
For a moment I knew you so dearly (dearly)

Fmaj7............Em.....................Dm...C
I looked into your eyes and into your mind

Fmaj7............Em.....................Dm...C
You were laughing like a statue come to life

The subtle piano raindrops
The creaking of the buildings and their cellos
The wind was our violin
The sky was a symphonic mural of stars
Hiding behind perfectly placed clouds
Because everything is the way it is
And everything is perfect in their imperfections
And everything is placed the best
And it is now, and it is here
And tomorrow is another now
Waiting to happen

The roar of an action silences all the words
The cry of an accomplishment
Drowns the whimper of ten thousand words
And we live in our actions and our reactions
And we live in our actions and our reactions
