C 
Lost it seems, brother the days that we 
F 
Could wrestle on the floor 
C 
Of the living room, shedding our cocoons 
F 
Oh the telescope, oh the crescent moon 
C 
Open the drawer, sister by the door 
F 
Where you hide your diary 
C 
With the diagrams, all forsaken plans 
F 
Read again the note, everything you wrote 
 
C       F       C       F 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
 
C 
Grandfather, oh where have you gone? 
F 
My best friend it feels to me 
C 
It's so long, since we took our trip 
F 
To the mountain, sleeping in our tent 
 
 
Am         C              F      C 
And when I fall I fall in you 
Am           C                   F      C 
All stars in skies they shine on you 
C 
In the chair, by the window there 
 
 
F 
I write my will on the window sill 
C 
And all I leave, its for my family 
F 
With whom I share my blood, I share my name and love 
C 
Jesus the lamb, the lion the I Am 
F 
Remember me when you're in 
C 
The promised land, no recompense 
F 
Forsaking all I've earned, forsaking self defense 
 
C       F       C       F 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
 
C 
When time and space are finally parting ways 
F 
The full eclipse of earth and my near 10,000 days 
C 
The new trombone, or is the kingdom come 
F 
The stars outshine the moon and the moon points to the sun 
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
 
 
Am         C              F      C 
And when I fall I fall in you 
Am           C                   F      C 
All stars in skies they shine on you 
 
Am         C              F      C 
And when I fall I fall in you 
Am           C                   F       
All stars in skies they shine on you 
                   C 
They only point to you 
 
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh  
 
C 
Brother brother, sister sister 
F 
Father mother, oh I've missed you 
C 
Brother brother, sister sister 
F 
Father mother, oh I've missed you 
C 
Brother brother, sister sister 
F 
Father mother, oh I've missed you 
C 
Brother brother, sister sister 
F 
Mother father, how I love you 
 
End on C
