                  Em
It's coming from so far away
C                    C/D
It's hard to say for sure
G             G/B     C
Whether what I hear is music or the wind
              D
Through an open door
Em                    Eb#5
There's a fire high in the empty sky
G/D           C(add9)               G
Where the sound meets the shore
G
There's a long distance loneliness
C                 G          D
Rolling out over the desert floor

|Em |Em |C |C |
|Em |Em |C |G |

C                                          Bm
And the years that I spent lost in the mystery
D#dim                Em
Fall away leaving only the sound of the drum
               G/F
Like a part of me

It speaks to the heart of me
             Em
Forget what life used to be

You are what you choose to be
Eb#5                      D
It's whatever it is you see
G                   Gmb5(6)
That life will become

          D/F#
Whatever it is you might think you have
Em/G           B7/F#
You have nothing to lose
                       C/G
Through every dead and living thing
            Em
Time runs like a fuse
G C D C/E Dsus4/F# G
And the fuse is burning
G C D C/E D7sus4/F# G
And the earth is turning

|Em |Em |C |C |
|Em |Em |C |C |
|Em |Em |C |C |
|Em |Em |C |C |

|Em |Eb#5 |G/D |C(add9) |
|G/B |D/A |F(add9)/G |F(add9)/G |

C        Bm
Though the years give way to uncertainty
D#dim                         Em
And the fear of living for nothing strangles the will
                   G/F
There's a part of me

That speaks to the heart of me
                   Em
Though sometimes it's hard to see
             C
It's never far from me
Eb#5               D
Alive in eternity
         G
That nothing can kill

Gmb5(6)
Oh Lord
D/F#          Em/G             B7/F#
Are there really people starving still?
                 C/G
Look out beyond the walls of Babylon
            Em
How long will their needs go unfilled
G     C        D          C/E          D7sus4/F#          G
I want to say right now I'm going to be a - round

(backgr. vocals: I'm going to be around)
G        C     D     C/E      D7sus4/F#      G
When the walls and towers are crumbling

(backgr. vocals: When the towers are tumbling down)
G     C     D       C/E        D7sus4/F#     G
And I will tune my spirit to the gentle sound

(backgr. vocals: I want to hear the sound)
G      C       D      C/E      D7sus4/F#         G
Of the waters lapping on a higher ground
