G                      AmWhere do I go when the light grows dim?
G                  AmDown the road on a stick.
G                       AmWhat will I do when the pen runs out?
CI make a stop, the dogs they bark.
DAway and away and away and away.

VERSE:
The battle is done you've lost and won.
And now you look so pale and eerie.
Counting the hills till sunset comes.
Lookin' out on to serve your name.

PRE-CHORUS:
I see the slopes seating God and (?)
Then I wrote within, within.
An open cyst, that tear in his eye.
He found his soul and lost his heart.
Away and away and away and away.

CHORUS (w/ INTRO RIFF)

Am                                        GI put another log on the fire, some fuel for you.
Am                                         GI put another log on the fire, some fuel for you.
