The Secret He Had Missed

Bm
The sea - your room - your god

The interior world you loved
Em
You turned faces into icons

But the mirror killed all your freedom
Bm
Quiet steady and unique

Opposites united by blood and deed
Em
Boredom your biggest enemy

Left your heart on the beach in Tenby
A                  Em
I’ll be remembered as your brother
G                   D
All my work adds up to nothing
A                  Em
You ignored the revolutions
G
They just led you nowhere
D                  G
The secret he had missed
A                 D
Was lying at his fingertips
Bm                 Em
Thе girl in the long blue dress
A                  D
Cast a spеll and left us blessed
Bm
Lost your heart and soul in France

Prayed so hard that love would last
Em
Bohemian with no control

If only you had your sister’s soul
Bm
Never had the chance to reconcile

Living separate and lonely lives
Em
If only we could meet again

We could find a different end
A                      Em
I’ll be remembered as your brother
G                     D
All my work adds up to nothing
A                 Em
You ignored the revolutions
G
They just led you nowhere
D              G
The secret he had missed
A               D
Was lying at his fingertips
Bm               Em
The girl in the long blue dress
A                D
Cast a spell and left us blessed
D               G
Walls defeated by the sea
A               D
Still resonate an imperfect dream
Bm              Em
The whispering waves still cleanse and clean
A                 D
They can’t wipe away what you’ve seen
