Verse 1
Am Am 
 
I
C C 
 
had spend the whole day lying on the sand,
G G 
 
Sifting tiny golden gains and
Am Am 
 
dreaming I was tanned.
My eyelids closed,
C C 
 
the burning sun high up in the sky.
G G 
 
Make swiftly moving scarlet
Am Am 
 
patterns deep within my eye.

Verse 2
Am Am 
 
Then the red sun disappeared
F F 
 
C C 
 
and a chill came on my skin.
G G 
 
I felt a shadow on my face and a
Am Am 
 
coldness from within.
C C 
 
Through slits between my eyelids I saw a girl,
kneeling down
G G 
 
And the sun,  I think it was,
Am Am 
 
formed a halo, or a crown.

Verse 3
Am Am 
 
I heard a week and croaking
C C 
 
voice I recognize as mine.
G G 
 
Ask her where she came from,
Am Am 
 
or  for some other sign.
Dm Dm 
 
Am Am 
 
She smiled and closed my eyelids
C C 
 
with two fingers of her hand.
G G 
 
Saying I'm from the other side
Am Am 
 
and soon you'll understand.

Verse 4
C C 
 
Oh, she held my hands,
G G 
 
as if to comfort me and said:
Dm Dm 
 
"Don't be afraid,
F F 
 
I'm your lifelong guide.
C C 
 
I've come so I can show you
G G 
 
how to set your spirit free.
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
So listen to the music, as I take you through,
Am Am 
 
To the other side."

Verse 5
Am Am 
 
In that instant I seemed to rise
C C 
 
and she holding my arm.
G G 
 
Entered a bright passageway
Am Am 
 
that gave me no alarm.
Just a growing love,
C C 
 
forgiveness and trust all mixed as one
G G 
 
And peace, above all,
Am Am 
 
quit peace of something finished - done.

Verse 6
Am Am 
 
As we reached the place of comfort,
C C 
 
the strongest point of light.
G G 
 
I felt her stop me, motionless,
Am Am 
 
the end of headlong flight.
She entered in the brightness,
C C 
 
spoke to others waiting there.
G G 
 
Then, returning to me,
Am Am 
 
softly said: "Your time is not yet here."

Verse 7
C C 
 
Oh, she held my hands,
G G 
 
as if to comfort me and said:
Dm Dm 
 
"Don't be afraid,
F F 
 
I'm your lifelong guide.
C C 
 
I've come so I can show you
G G 
 
how to set your spirit free.
Dm Dm 
 
So listen to the music,
F F 
 
as I take you through,
Am Am 
 
To the other side."

Verse 8
Am Am 
 
You must return and tell the others
C C 
 
waiting to come through,
G G 
 
Of the love, forgiveness,
Am Am 
 
peace and light that lie and store for you
And play to them, the music,
C C 
 
play it strong and play with pride.
G G 
 
So that they won't be afraid
Am Am 
 
to pass - to the other side.

Verse 9
C C 
 
Oh, she held my hands,
G G 
 
as if to comfort me and said:
Dm Dm 
 
"Don't be afraid,
F F 
 
I'm your lifelong guide.
C C 
 
I've come so I can show you
G G 
 
how to set your spirit free.
Dm Dm 
 
So listen to the music,
F F 
 
as I take you through,
Am Am 
 
To the other side."
