[Verse 1]
         C
Was it a dream
                         D
Where I wandered off the trail

Aimlessly drawn
              C
And came to a clearing
               G
On the hill of town
              C
Still hearing calls

[Verse 2]
      C
And a circle of stone
             D
Surrounded a pool of black water and sky
        C                              G
Where I reached in and pulled out a song
            C
Ceremoniously young

[Pre-Chorus]
          Am
I think I dreamt it
                G
Standing on the street in the wind looking south
            Am
Hunting for singing
          G
Indulging imagining words in the wind

[Chorus]
                  C
But nothing means nothing
              D
Everything is fleeting
          Em
Don't get used to it
  Am                 C
I say, look upon the ruins

[Verse 3]
            C
Two distant branches on the hill
           D
There's no song, no sacredness now
         C                                  G
What I'd called the spirit world blows into dust
                 C     G
Like me, and the song
        C
Born of alienation

[Pre-Chorus]
        Am
Ancient questions
G                       Am
Unanswered, alive in me again
          G
Indulging imagining words in the wind

[Chorus]
                  C
But nothing means nothing
              D
Everything is fleeting
          Em
Don't get used to it
   Am                C
I say, look upon the ruins

[Outro]
             C
Voice in the branches
           G
Pulling me still
