lyrics

paradisus somnium
(mws 10/20/22)

intro/refrain
D                 G/B
dreaming through the past
Asus4     D 
i hear a call
D                      G/B
the planets light the night
Asus4          D 
and crystal jewels fall


i thought i heard a voice

comforting and low

through the corridor

you hold hands and go

          Bm
there was music in the room
  D/F#  G     A7
a quiet cello tuned

Asus6 4                        Dsus4
sweetly from the dusk into the light

vs.2
from night's loose embrace

daytime took the place

nightbirds sang of you

and the morning glories too

Dsus4 Em2
and like the birds you flew
F#m C
together in the night
Am7 Em2
spirits held you tight
D/F# G G# A A#dim
embracing the spacing
A#dim G/b C/d A# C# E D (refrain/lead)
and tasting. . . paradise


in my dreams so real

you never disappear

the paradise i feel

till the morning's here

  Bm
i will hold on to you
D/F#      G      A7 A7
while the angels wait
   Asus6 4                                    Dsus4
to whisk you from this place where they fear to tread



thank you



thank you
