[Intro]
Cm

[Verse 1]
             Gm
a cry in the silence
   Cm          Gm     Cm
a shine in the dark
               Gm
like a rising star
             Cm    G    Cm
the dream is coming
          Gm
images of violence
   Cm                     G
a flight through time and space
Cm                 Gm
it's such a lonely place
              Cm     G  Db
the dream has started

[Chorus]
Db            Eb
the smoke is rising
    Bb                F
the vision's getting clearer
    Ab             G
and words become a song
            Cm   Gm Eb Bb Cm Gm Eb G
in the dreamtime

[Verse 2]
     Cm
I've lost control
   Gm
marooned and cold
   Cm
I suffer the fears
     G      Cm
of a future untold

I cannot change
    Gm        G7       Cm    Gm
the shape of things to come

[Chorus]
Db            Eb
the smoke is rising
    Bb                F
the vision's getting clearer
    Ab             G
and words become a song
            Cm   Gm Eb Bb Cm Gm Eb Bb
in the dreamtime

[Bridge]
Fm           Eb
the smoke is rising
    Bb                Fm     Ab
the vision's getting clearer
             Eb                Bb
the hands of time are whirling around
Fm        Eb
I'm realising
    Bb               Fm
the future's getting nearer
    Ab             Gm    G
and words become a song
