Dan Fogelberg - Nexus
INTRO: (lengthy instrumental)
D D7sus4
Across the vein of night there cuts, a path of searing light
G D A
Burning like a beacon on the edges of our sight
D D7sus4
At the point of total darkness and the lights divine divide
G D A D A D A
A soul can let its shadow stretch and land on either side, either side
D D7sus4
And balanced on the precipice, the moment must reveal
G D A
Naked in the face of time, our race within the wheel
D D7sus4
As we hang beneath the heavens, and we hover over hell
G D A
Our hearts become the instruments, we learn to play so well
CHORUS:
D G A
So wealthy the spirit, that knows its own flight
D G A
Stealthy the hunter, who slays his own fright
D G A D A D A D
Blessed the traveller, who journeys the length of the light
D7sus4
Outside the pull of gravity, beyond the spectral veil
G D A
Within our careful reasoning, we search to no avail
D D7sus4
For the constant in the chaos, for the fulcrum in the void
G D A D A D A
Following a destiny, our steps cannot avoid
D D7sus4
Across the vein of night there cuts, a path of searing light
G D A
Burning like a beacon on the edges of our sight
D D7sus4
At the point of total darkness and the lights divine divide
G D A
A soul can let its shadow stretch and land on either side
CHORUS:
D G A
wealthy the spirit, that knows its own flight
D G A
Stealthy the hunter, who slays his own fright
D G A D
Blessed the traveller, who journeys the length of the light
INSTRUMENTAL: (A really long one)
D D7sus4
In a spiral never-ending, are we drawn toward the source
G D A
Spinning at the mercy of an unrelenting force
D D7sus4
So we stare into the emptiness and fall beneath the weight
G D A
Circling the Nexus in a fevered dance with fate
CHORUS:
D G A
Wealthy the spirit, that knows its own flight
D G A
Stealthy the hunter, who slays his own fright
D G A D
Blessed the traveller, who journeys the length of the light
OUTRO: (Instrumental)
