VERSE 1 (Gabriel)
Am F Dm G
Days have come, winters have gone
Am F Am
and we gambled like siblings in Paradise.
Am F Dm G
I was your knight, holding you tight
Am F Am
as a brother when I saw your crying eyes.
G F E7 Am
Time went by and we had to say goodbye.
PRE-CHORUS 1
D Am
Staring up to the clouds above
D Am
Children so little and sad.
E E/G# Am
Hoping the saints could help one day
G C
Lead us together again.
Am G F Dm7 E | E7 F G
Holding the key to the alley of dreams still in hands!
CHORUS
C G7
Time telling me to say farewell
Am F C G
but I know that I would fight hell and I know: We will
C G
go for another time we can see,
F G Am G
for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell
C G7
Time telling me to say farewell
Am F C G
but I know that I would fight hell and I know: We will
C G
go for another time we can see,

for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell
VERSE 2 (Anna)
Am F Dm G
Stepbrother tell me where have you been
Am F Am
when they brought me to this godforsaken place.
Am F Dm G
Sign of the cross - they took me away
Am F Am
for healing with herbs by the way of grace.
G F E7 Am
Now I wait for the day to feed the flames.
PRE-CHORUS 2 (Gabriel)
D Am
I have been caught in a cage of despair.
D Am
My heart as a monk's cell so empty and bare.
Am G F Dm7 E | E7 F G
But no holy water can make me forget you again!
CHORUS

for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell
