lyrics

Leaving My Old Life Behind

VERSE (Db B E F# (x3) then Db B F#)

I learned quite a lot
shooting through my mind
things i never guessed at before

and so i decided
to leave my old life behind
i don't need it anymore

Chorus (Eb F# Eb F# Db B F# (x2))
I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds
I'm gonna learn to climb the wind
I wont stop til Ive understood the dark

I'm gonna learn to fly the clouds
I'm gonna understand the air
My mind will listen to the stars

BACKWARDS GUITAR SOLO (same as 1 chorus)

VERSE (Db B E F# (x3) then Db B F#)

To everyone else i appear quite the same
And i help them as much as I can

But they'll never know that my mind is in the air
O how could they ever understand

CHORUS (Eb F# Eb F# Db B F# (x2))

I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds
I'm gonna pull upon the rain
I'll learn what lies beneath the earth

I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds
I'm gonna understand the space
I'll even go back beyond birth

BACKWARDS GUITAR SOLO (same as 1 chorus)


I Am A Hermit

INTRO
C D
I am a hermit
C D
I am a hermit

CHORUS
C D
Yes I am a hermit
C D
My mind is not the same
C D Cm G
Yes I am a hermit and ecstasy's my game

VERSE (A G x3 F G)

'Round by broken streams
Here i make my home
There is no need for food
I can live off air alone

The birds bring me flowers
And put them by my side
I live in another world
And that is why I hide

C D
Yes I am a hermit
C D
My mind is not the same
C D Cm G
Yes I am a hermit and ecstasy's my game

BACKWARDS GUITAR SOLO (A G x3 F G) X3

VERSE (A G x3 F G)

From the bottom of my heart
I pity all of you
Chained to the world
And who don't know what I do

C D
Yes I am a hermit
C D
My mind is not the same
C D Cm G
Yes I am a hermit and ecstasy's my game
