Nicky my child he stands there with the wind in his hair
Am Dm Am E Am.Riff
Wondering whether the water the wind or the where

My age and my time, the bloodfire wine and rhyme
That ^A fills my dream, re ^D minds me of an ^A atom
In a ^E bubble on a ^A wave
That held it's ^D breath for one sweet ^A second
Then was ^E popped and disap ^A peared
Into fru ^D itful futili ^A ty, meaning ^E less mea ^A ning
Meaning ^E less mea ^A ning, meaning ^E less mean ^Asus4 ing ^A
D Under the ^A toadstool lover ^D down by the ^A dream
^D Everything ^A flowing over ^E rainbows down ^A stream
And there's a ^D mirror that I'm lookin' straight through
And I ^A get it ^{Asus4 A}
And there's a ^D doorway that I'm ducking into
To for ^E get it
But ^D flashin' ^A doors be ^E yond the ^A sky
The ^D shattering ^E midnight ^A gathers
^D And remin ^A ding me be ^E hind my ^A hind
The ^D earthquake the ^E sunflakes ^A flutter
The ^D broken ^A coach and the ^E rags ap ^A proach
And the ^D wind is dev ^E ouring the ^D ash ^A es
