C       Em 
Waking light 
 
  Bb         F 
A profiling shadow 
 
C       Em 
Waste yourself 
 
      Bb       F 
To the morning low  
 
Am        D 
Night is gone 
 
F         C 
Long way turning 
 
Bb             F             Am 
You've waited long enough to know 
 
 
Asus2             C 
When the memory leaves you 
 
Asus2                     C 
Somewhere you can make it home 
 
D                         C 
When the morning comes to meet you 
 
(C)    Bb              F 
Lay me down in waking light 
 
Asus2 
 
 
C  Em           Bb 
No one sees you here 
 
F               C 
Words are all covered 
 
Em             Bb 
Such a life to go 
 
F                Am 
How much can you show 
 
        D 
Day is gone 
 
      F             C 
On a landslide of rhythm 
 
Bb              F                 Am 
I've seen your lamp light burning low 
 
 
Asus2           C 
When the memory leaves you 
 
Asus2                     C 
Somewhere you can make it home 
 
D                         C 
When the morning comes to meet you 
 
(C)       Bb             Am 
Rest your eyes in waking light

Asus2           C 
When the memory leaves you

Somewhere you can make it home 
 
D                         C 
When the morning comes to meet you

Fill your eyes with waking light
