"Voice of Poets Past"

Gmi D7 Cmi D7 G

V1:

I sit alone with windows wide
when everyone is sleeping
At midnight I can hear the cry
of ancient spirits weeping

C:

Cmi Gmi
And I listen for the heart of me
D7 Gmi
To tell me what they know
Cmi Gmi
If History bears repeating
D7
Won't you let me go?

V2:

I watch the hours, the creeping flowers
Growing o'er my window
The laughing sky, pregnant with clouds
Breeds children in a bubble

C:

Bridge

V3:

The tide is coming in again
To wash away my sorrow
Until the ghosts of poets past
Return to me tomorrow
