Intro: Abm Gb Verse 1: E B At last, when all of the world is asleep Abm You take in the blackness of air E The likes of a darkness so deep Abm That God at the start couldn't bear Verse 2: E B And sit unseen, with only the inner upheld Abm Your reflection can't offer a word E To the bliss of not knowin' yourself Abm With all mirrorin' gone from the world Verse 3: E B Still the mind, rejectin' this new empty space Abm Fills it with somethin' or someone E No closer could I be to God Abm Or why he would do what he's done Outro: Abm Bhfuilis soranna sorcha E Ach tagais 'nós na hoíche Gb Trína chéile; Le chéile, claochlaithe Abm Bhfuilis soranna sorcha E Ach tagais 'nós na hoíche Eb Is claochlú an ealaín Is ealaín dubh í Abm Bhfuilis soranna sorcha E Ach tagais 'nós na hoíche Gb Trína chéile; Le chéile, claochlaithe Abm Bhfuilis soranna sorcha E Ach tagais 'nós na hoíche Eb Is claochlú an ealaín Is ealaín dubh í Outro: Abm This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
