Verse 2:

D I do not dare to raise my head or move my limbs D To see the valley in this state D I fill my glass and let the evening take its shape, G D Spinning knives with luckless lovers time and fate
G A You're shining still Bm A You're a lantern on a hill D G A And I would burn into the ground D To take you home

Verse 3:

D Louder grow the words that fall from fortune's jagged lips, D The anchor and the diving bell D And though I fear I may be rudderless at sea, G D I, I, I have searched for ground in deeper wells.
