     Em7                                A                 A7
They slither while they pass they slip away across the Universe.

D                Bm               F#m
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Em7              Gm
Possessing and caressing me.

D         Bm                 F#m                            Em7
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
                        A                  A7
They call me on and on across the Universe.
D                Bm              F#m
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox
     Em7                               A                 A7
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the Universe.

D            Bm               F#m                             Em7
Limitless, undying love which shines around me like a million suns
                        A            A7
And calls me on and on across the Universe.
