It Was A Dark And Stormy Night Hope Still Flies

F#m                       A              E             B
It was a dark and stormy night last night bitter dark

F#m
Rain fell in torrents

A                                 E
stabbing its ghosts through the cold

                            B
and straight through our hearts

CHORUS

            D                       E        F#m
I’ve been waiting in halfhearted sleep

       A                           B
For a promise I half meant to keep

           D                  E        F#m
Just for hoping that hope still flies

           A                         B
Wipe the sleep out of our sleeping eyes


VERSE

Fog that is lifting
the specter of dreams we once had
speaks into the night
Slumber is over
sunlight is streaming through
come into the light

BRIDGE
   C
I know

D                     C#m
Hope has not forgotten me

C
I know

D                             C#m
I’m waking from the longest dream

A     C        D
I know, I know

A    C       D     E
I know, I know
