Am G  G Am
 
                        G
Where the river runs to black
                                 Am
I take the schoolbooks from your pack
                        F
Plastics, wire and your kiss
                               Am
The breath of eternity on your lips
                      G
In the crowded market place
                     Am
I drift from face to face
                              F
I hold my breath and close my eyes
                              Am
I hold my breath and close my eyes
                   G
And I wait for paradise
                   Am  G
And I wait for paradise
 
Am G  G Am
 
                                G
The Virginia hills have gone to brown
                              Am
Another day another sun going down
                       F
I visit you in another dream
                       Am
I visit you in another dream
                      G
I reach and feel your hair
                          Am
Your smell lingers in the air
                                  F
I brush your cheek with my finger tips
                           Am
I taste the void upon your lips
                   G
And I wait for paradise
                   Am
And I wait for paradise  
 
 F  Am G  G Am
 
                             G
I search for you on the other side
                               Am
Where the river runs clean and wide
                          F
Up to my heart the waters rise
                          Am
Up to my heart the waters rise
                                  G
I sink beneath the water cool and clear
                     Am
Drifting down, I disappear
                       F
I see you on the other side
                               Am
I search for the peace in your eyes
                            G
But they're as empty as paradise
                        Am
They're as empty as paradise
 
F  Am G  G Am
 
                  G
I break above the waves
                       Am
I feel the sun upon my face
