1. We turn away to face the
cold enduring chill,
G D A
as the day begs the night for mercy love.
A D
The sun’s so bright, it leaves no shadows, only scars,
G D
A
carved
into stone on the face of earth.
A D
The moon is up and over One
Tree Hill,
G D A
we
see the sun go down in your eyes.
G - D A
You run like a river, on
like a sea,
G - D A
you run like a river runs to the sea.

2. And in the world a heart of
darkness, a firezone,
G

where
poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it.
A D
Jara
sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of one
G D
A
whose
blood still cries from the ground.
G - D A
It runs like a river runs
to the sea,
G - D A
it runs like a river to the sea.

3. I don’t believe in painted
roses or bleeding hearts,
G D A
while
bullets rape the night of the merciful.

I‘ll see you again when the
stars fall from the sky,

and
the moon has turned red over one tree hill.

raining hard,
G - D A
that’s
when the rain will break the heart.

Raining,
rain, raining in your heart.
