[Intro]
Em
[Chorus]
Em
In darkness we do what we can
C D
In daylight we're oblivion
Em
Our hearts so raw and clear
D C D Em
Are turning away, turning away from here
[Verse]
Em D
On the water we have walked like the fearless child
C D Em
What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild
Em D
And in search of confirmation we have jumped into the fire
C D Em
And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire
[Chorus]
Em
In darkness we do what we can
C D
In daylight we're oblivion
Em
Our hearts so raw and clear
D C D Em
Are turning away, turning away from here
[Verse]
Em D
There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past
C D Em
Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast
Em D
And there's those that try to tame it and to carve it into stone
C D Em
Ah but words cannot extinguish it however hard they're thrown
[Chorus]
Em
In darkness we do what we can
C D
In daylight we're oblivion
Em
Our hearts so raw and clear
D C D Em
Are turning away, turning away from here
[Verse]
Em D
On Loch Etive they have worked with their Highland dreams
C D Em
By Kilcrennan they have nourished in the mountain streams
Em D
And in searching for acceptance they had given it away
C D Em
Only the children of their children know the price they had to pay
