Verse 1:
 
You’re a ticking clock, in a timeless land,
 
Holding on too long, without any hands.
         E        D+9          A               Asus2 - A
And the stars are falling down around you now,
        E              D+9             A              E
In the rain there are wonders left to touch so you’re reaching out. 
 
 
Chorus:
 C#m  A    F#m  E            C#m   A          F#m         E
Hold.. on.. to.. me – while I hold.. on.. to my Fa - ther’s hand. (hold on to me)
C#m   A    F#m  E

Verse 2:
 
So the flowers grow and bloom in the desert sand,
 
And the crystal tears they fall and flower in a barren land,
         E        D+9          A               Asus2 - A
Till you feel the sunlight shining on your skin,
        E              D+9             A              E
And all that once was lost in you is alive again.
 
 
Repeat Chorus

C#m                  D
Da da ha, da da ha, da da da ha da da (4X)
 
 
Bridge:
         E        D+9          A               Asus2 - A
And your tears will carry you to a peaceful place
        E              D+9             A              E
Where the water and the wine taste new – in his sweet embrace.
