From the underworld (1967)

1. Out of the land of shadows and darkness,
Bb C
we
were returning towards the morning light.
F
Almost in reach of places I
knew,
Bb C
escaping
the ghosts of yesterday.
F
2. You were behind me following closely.
Bb C
"Don't turn around
now", I heard you whisper in my ear.
F
"If you should turn now, all
that you won
Bb C
will
vanish just like a passing dream."
F
3. Just on the very verge of the morning,
Bb C
daylight
was dawning, freedom was but a step away.
F
Now with the deep dark river
behind us,
Bb C
what
could go wrong, if I stayed strong in mind ?
F
4. What was the sudden lapse into madness ?
Bb C
What was the urge that turned
my head around to look at you ?
F
What was the stubborn will to destroy
Bb C
the
love and the joy I nearly held ?

5. Three times the thunder roared in my ears,
Bb C
in
all of my years I'll see that lost look in your eyes.
F
As, with a sigh like smoke in
the wind,
Bb C
you
slipped from my grasp into the waiting shadows.
F
6. So much I longed to say, but my touch found
Bb C
only
the empty air and a black nights coldness.
F
Into another world you entered,
Bb
C
and
never again I can reclaim you.
