[Verse 1]
Am                                   G
Procession moves on, the shouting is over
F                G                      Am
  Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone
                                         G
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables
F               G                       Am
  Scattering flowers washed down by the rain
                                        G
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
F                G                      Am
  Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
                                    G
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
F                 G                     Am
  Possessed by a fury that burns from inside

[Verse 2]
Am                                             G
Cry like a child, though these years make me older
F                   G                     Am
  With children my time is so wastefully spent
                                         G
A burden to keep, though their inner communion
F                G               Am
  Accept like a curse an unlucky deal
                                         G
Played by the gate at the foot of the garden
F                   G                         Am
  My view stretches out from the fence to the wall
                                         G
No words could explain, no actions determine
F                     G                          Am
  Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall
