1. I walk the maze of moments, but everywhere I turn to,
F C G C
begins a new
beginning, but never finds a finish.
C Am F C
I walk to the horizon, and
there I find another,
F C G C
it
all seems so surprising, and then I find that I know.
Am G F G
You go there, you’re gone forever, I go there, I’ll
lose my way.
Am G F G
if we stay here, we’re not
together, anywhere is.

2. The moon upon the ocean is swept around in motion,
F C G C
but
without ever knowing the reason for its flowing.

In motion on the ocean, the
moon still keeps on moving,

the
waves still keep on waving, and I still keep on going.

You go there, you’re gone forever, I go there, I’ll
lose my way.

together, anywhere is.

3. I wonder if the stars sign the life that is to be mine,
F C G C
and
would they let their light shine enough for me to follow.
C Am F C
I look up to the heavens, but
night has clouded over,
F C G C
no
spark of constellation, no Vega, no Orion.

4. The shells upon the warm sands have taken from their own lands,
F C G C
the
echo of their story, but all I hear are low sounds.
C Am F C
As pillow words are weaving, and willow waves
are leaving,
F C G C
but
should I be believing that I am only dreaming.
Am G F G
You go there, you’re gone forever, I go there, I’ll
lose my way.
Am G F G
if we stay here, we’re not
together, anywhere is.

5. To leave the tread of all time and let it make a dark line,
F C G C
in
hopes that I can still find the way back to the moment.
C Am F C
I took the turn and turned to,
begin a new beginning,
F C G C
still
looking for an answer, I cannot find the finish.

6. It’s either this or that way, it’s one way
or the other,
F C G C
it
should be one direction, it could be on reflection.
C Am F C
The turn I have just taken,
the turn that I was making,
F C G C
I might be just beginning, I might be near the end.
