Gmi                        Dmi
Once my life was plain and clear
    Gmi
I recall
                      Dmi
Once my ignorance was bliss
Gmi  Dmi  Ami
Nightfall came
C                Gmi
Like a serpent’s kiss
D#    F        Gmi
To my troubled mind

Cmi              Gmi
Why... Oh why my God
G#        Cmi                 Gmi
Have you abandoned me in my sobriety
  G#   Cmi       Gmi
Behind the old façade
G#         G#       Fmi
I'm your bewildered child
   Gmi                     Cmi
So take me cross the river wide

Binding promisses were made on my soul
Grand illusions lead astray
Ice cold winds swept my heart away
Bring me back to you

Why... Oh why my God
Have you abandoned me in my sobriety
Behind the old façade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

I remember a song
Like in a dream
Where September was long
And winter unreal

Why... Oh why my God above
Have you abandoned me in my sobriety
Behind the old façade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide
