E A C#m B
I 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 A
Stood at her Tiffany window, she said to look below
E A
Could I see the town was burning?
E A
Could I see the broken prison?
F#m B E
Could I see that it was time for me to go?
E A C#m B
They looted the museum and took all that they could hold
E G#m C#m B
A motorcade of flatbed trucks made off with quite a haul
C#m B
That�s when I heard someone shout,
E A
�In with the new! Out with the old!�
E A
A dusty box of letters
E A
A rusting suit of armor
F#m B E
A 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 B
I loved you Triple Spiral�father, son and ghost
E G#m C#m
But you left me in my darkest hour when I needed you,
B
when I needed you
C#m B E A
Now that the dream is over I want it to be known
E A
That I never saw it coming
E A
Through my little human prism
F#m B E
How 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 E
Spinning 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 B
I loved you Triple Spiral, my maiden-mother-crone
E G#m C#m B
You found me in this fallow state, my mind was off and stowed
C#m B E A
I heard your strange commotion and wished I could go home
E A
To live a little longer
E A
A full Indian summer
F#m B E
Long enough to carve you into stone
E--EMaj7--G#m--C#m--A--B--E
