G#7
If I was a wave to pant
A#m7  C#         F#maj7
Under-neath your power
G#7
If I was a leaf to fly
A#m7   C#       F#maj7
Up out from the bower
G#7
If I was a cloud to burst
A#m7 C#     F#maj7
In a sudden shower
G#7
I would never bow before
     A#m7      C#     F#maj7
This weight of hours

[Verse 2]
G#7
Tell me are the rumours true?
A#m7    C#      F#maj7
Are you growing weak?
G#7
Maybe it's the climate
A#m7    C#        F#maj7
Or some harsh cri-tique
      G#7
But I used to hear you singing
    A#m7    C#    F#maj7
Now all you do is speak
G#7
In whispers to the withered ferns
   A#m7    C#    F#maj7
On Devil's Peak

G#7  A#m7  C#  F#maj7  x2

[Bridge]
G#7
A cargo ship
A#m7    C#        F#maj7
Moves a-cross the bay
    G#7
The Mediterranean
A#m7 C#  F#maj7
is a-ges away
G#7
My dry lips
A#m7       C#      F#maj7 G#
Don't know what to say
C#  F#     C# F#  C#     F# C#/G# G#
Qui-vering in the wave's in-ten-  ser day

[Verse 3]
F# G#               C#
My tears sudden and uncouth
             F#
A grit in my eye is a grain of truth
F#   G#                   C#
Wind ruffling my plume of youth
            F#
So tatterde-malion

[Verse 4]
F#    G#                          C#
Waves crashing on the side of the wall
              F#
Nothing makes sense in the city at all
F#    G#                         C#
You'd like to see it crumble and fall
             F#
Go ahead and sigh now

[Verse 5]
F#   G#                       C#
This garden, more yellow than green
         F#
Drinking tea, eating florentines
F#      G#                              C#
    Oh, tell me where on earth have you been?
                F#
The fountain is dry now
C#
The fountain is dry now
C#
The fountain is dry now
