Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][E][Em][Am][E][Am][Em][F][Dm][C][Gsus4][G][Dm][E]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Once upon [Em]the moment of [F]beauty laid long [E]pas[Em] t
The [Dm]itch on the cheek of
[Am]a mute mouth [Em]clasped[E]
In [F]a twirled looking glass, to [Am]go or stay
In [Em]course at its own dis[E]play
A [Dm]pot, a pan, a [Am]cutlery board
A [F]pepper and black spice [E]tray
[Em][E][Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Time [Em]spool[F]ed, unspinning
Life scrolls [Dm]un ra[Em]vel
The [Dm]telling tale [Am]wends bends and
[F]Breaks these tomes we [Em]travel
[F]Over [Dm]and again[Am] we abid[Em]e[E]
But [F]which side now of the
Look[E]ing-glass façade am [Am]I?

[Interlude 1]
[Bb][Am][C][Am][Bb][Am][Dm][C][Eb][Ebm]
[Dm][C][Eb][Dm][F][E][G][Am][E][Em][Am]
[F][Dm][C][G][C][Dm][E]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Memories haunt like [Em]diamonds
[G]Remin[F]iscence swirls as [Em]smoke[C]
[Dm]Nettles in [Am]the morning
At [Em]night steeped [G]straw of [E]oat
[F]Petals of jasmine, [Am]anemones
In [Em]a water [G]bowl [E]afloat
How [Dm]grace arranged the [Am]chance array
[F]Come eventide's shifting [Em]glow
[E]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Bend [F]and s[Am]tretch, swing [Em]and sway
[F]I am a[Dm]s a [F]snake in your hand[Em]s
Wading [Dm]loose as oars
of [Am]two creaky boats
That play [F]patterns with silt
on [Em]the sand
[Dm]Black corusca[F]tion,
[Dm]loam[Am] liquid [F]bead[Am]s
The [F]Or [Dm]b Weavers spin [F]the length
[E]of their wheels…

[Outro 1]
