  E              A          C#m           BI loved a Triple Spiral, my maiden-mother-crone
  E          G#m             C#m     B I folded my devotion into an origami rose
     C#m             B           E            AStood at her Tiffany window, she said to look below
        E                ACould I see the town was burning?
        E              ACould I see the broken prison?
       F#m              B              ECould I see that it was time for me to go?

     E            A            C#m                  BThey looted the museum and took all that they could hold
  E            G#m                 C#m              BA motorcade of flatbed trucks made off with quite a haul
C#m                 BThat’s when I heard someone shout,
             E                 A“In with the new! Out with the old!”
  E            AA dusty box of letters
  E               AA rusting suit of armor
 F#m             B              EA casket made of fourteen karat gold

C#m           G#m    That’s the problem
C#m             B    No sense of time
       E           Emaj7   G#m C#m         A         B  E   She is shaped just like an hourglass there laying on her side


   E                A     C#m             BI loved you Triple Spiral–father, son and ghost
        E             G#m                 C#mBut you left me in my darkest hour when I needed you,
       Bwhen I needed you
   C#m               B       E             ANow that the dream is over I want it to be known
       E            AThat I never saw it coming
           E            AThrough my little human prism
    F#m          B              EHow sad it is to know I’m in control

C#m          G#m   That’s the problem
C#m         B   An empty sky
  E      Emaj7    G#m  C#m           A       B       E                          I fill it up with everything that is missing from my life
C#m              G#m   Where did you come from?
C#m          B   You fated sign
E        Emaj7       G#m   C#m   A       B       ESpinning through the centuries expanding all the time

A                                  E Three worlds at once that blend together
A                               B Three times I cried for us but I felt better then

  E                A         C#m            BI loved you Triple Spiral, my maiden-mother-crone
    E                G#m              C#m              BYou found me in this fallow state, my mind was off and stowed
  C#m                   B          E                 AI heard your strange commotion and wished I could go home
   E             ATo live a little longer

  E           A A full Indian summer
F#m            B              ELong enough to carve you into stone
