Eric's Song

I was surprised to find no one seemed to have done this song yet. I don't have the music book unfortunately, and she adds a LOT of flourishes on this song. In particular there's sections in the bridge I'm not entirely sure about. Also, during the Chorus the transition from hope you enjoy :) intro: Verse: Strange how you know inside me I measure the time and I stand amazed Strange how I know inside you My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze Chorus: And of course I forgive I've seen how you live Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes You pick up the pieces And the ghosts in the attic They never quite leave And of course I forgive You've seen how I live I've got darkness and fears to appease My voices and analogies Ambitions like ribbons Worn bright on my sleeve Strange how we know each other Strange how I fit into you There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease Strange how you fit into me A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs And with each passing day The stories we say Draw us tighter into our addiction Confirm our conviction That some kind of miracle Passed on our hands And how I am sure Like never before Of my reasons for defying reason Embracing the seasons We dance through the colors Both followed and led Strange how we fit each other (bridge.

Unfortunately I'm not 100% on this part) Strange how certain the journey Time unfolds the petals For our eyes to see Strange how this journey's hurting In ways we accept as part of fate's decree So we just hold on fast Acknowledge the past As lessons exquisitely crafted Painstakingly drafted To carve us as instruments That play the music of life For we don't realize Our faith in the prize Unless it's been somehow elusive How swiftly we choose it The sacred simplicity Of you at my side to coda
