# 1 - The Mystics Dream
[Verse]
Dm G
A clouded dream on an earthly night
Dm G Bm C
Hangs upon the crescent moon
Dm G
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Dm G Bm C
Sings at the coming dawn
Dm G
Birds in flight are calling there
Dm G Bm C
Where the heart moves the stones
Dm G
There that my heart is longing for
Dm G Bm C
All for the love of you
[Verse]
Dm G
A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Dm G Bm C
Nestled in the emerald moss
Dm G
The eyes declare a truce of trust
Dm G Bm C
Then it draws me far away
Dm G
Where deep in the desert twilight
Dm G Bm C
Sand melts in pools of the sky
Dm G
Darkness lays her crimson cloak
Dm G Bm C
Your lamps will call, call me home
[Verse]
Dm G
And so it's there that my homage's due
Dm G Bm C
Clutch-ed by the still of the night
Dm G
Now I feel, feel you move
Dm G Bm C
And every breath, breath is full
Dm G
So it's there my homage's due
Dm G Bm C
Clutch-ed by the still of the night
Dm G
Even the distance feels so near
Dm G Bm C
All for the love of you
[Verse]
Dm G
A clouded dream on an earthly night
Dm G Bm C
Hangs upon the crescent moon
Dm G
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Dm G Bm C
Sings at the coming dawn
Dm G
Birds in flight are calling there
Dm G Bm C
Where the heart moves the stones
Dm G
There at my heart is longing for
Dm G Bm C
All for the love of you

Capo 3
[Intro]
Em D G
C G/B Am D G
Em D G
C G/B Am D G
[Verse]
Em D G
Upon a darkened night
C G/B Am D G
The flame of love was burning in my breast
Em D G
And by a lantern bright
C G/B Am D G
I fled my house while all in quiet rest
[Verse]
Em C G/B
Shrouded by the night
C G/B Am D
And by the secret stair I quickly fled
Em C D
The veil concealed my eyes
Em C G/B D G
While all within lay quiet as the dead
[Chorus]
Em D G
Oh, night thou was my guide
Em C G/B D Em
Oh, night more loving than the rising sun
C G/B
Oh, night that joined the lover
D
To the beloved one
Em C G/B D G
Transforming each of them into the other
[Verse]
Em D G
Upon that misty night
C G/B Am D G
In secrecy, beyond such mortal sight
Em D G
Without a guide or light
C G/B Am D G
Than that which burned so deeply in my heart
[Verse]
Em C G/B
That fire t'was led me on
C G/B Am D
And shone more bright than of the midday sun
Em C D
To where he waited still
Em C G/B D G
It was a place where no one else could come
[Chorus]
Em D G
Oh, night thou was my guide
Em C G/B D Em
Oh, night more loving than the rising sun
C G
Oh, night that joined the lover
D
To the beloved one
Em C G/B D G
Transforming each of them into the other
[Instrumental]
Em D G
C G/B Am D G
Em D G
C G/B Am D G
[Verse]
Em D G
Within my pounding heart
C G/B Am D G
Which kept itself entirely for him
Em D G
He fell into his sleep
C G/B Am D G
Beneath the cedars all my love I gave
[Verse]
Em C G
And by the fortress walls
C G/B Am D
The wind would brush his hair against his brow
Em C D
And with its smoothest hand
Em C G/B D G
caressed my every sense it would allow
[Chorus]
Em D G
Oh, night thou was my guide
Em C G/B D Em
Oh, night more loving than the rising sun
C G/B
Oh, night that joined the lover
D
To the beloved one
Em C G/B D G
Transforming each of them into the other
[Instrumental]
Em D G
C G/B Am D G
Em D G
C G/B Am D G
Em D G
C G/B Am D G
Em D G
C G/B Am D G
[Verse]
Em D G
I lost myself to him
C G/B Am D G
And laid my face upon my lovers breast
Em D G
And care and grief grew dim
C G/B Am D G
As in the mornings mist became the light
Em C G/B D G
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
Em C G/B D Em
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
Em C G/B D G
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair.
[Outro]

[Intro]
Gm D Gm D Gm D Gm D Gm D
[Verse]
Gm D Gm D
They're gathered in circles, the lamps light their faces
Gm D
The crescent moon rocks in the sky
Gm D Gm D
The poets of drumming, keep heartbeats suspended
Gm D Gm
The smoke swirls up and then it dies
[Chorus]
D Gm
"Would you like my mask? Would you like my mirror?"
D
Cries the man in the shadowing hood
Gm D Gm D
You can look at yourself, you can look at each other
Gm D
You can look at the face, the face of your god
[Instrumental]
Gm D Gm D
[Verse]
Gm D Gm D
The stories are woven and fortunes are told
Gm D
The truth is measured by the weight of your gold
Gm D Gm D
The magic lies scattered on rugs on the ground
Gm D Gm
Faith is conjured in the night market's sound
[Chorus]
D Gm
"Would you like my mask? Would you like my mirror?"
D
Cries the man in the shadowing hood
Gm D Gm D
You can look at yourself, you can look at each other

You can look at the face, the face of your god
[Instrumental]
Gm D Gm D Gm D Gm D
[Verse]
Gm D Gm D
The lessons are written on parchments of paper
Gm D
They're carried by horse from the river Nile
Gm D Gm D
Says the shadowy voice in the firelight, the cobra
Gm D Gm
Is casting the flame, a winsome smile
[Chorus]
D Gm
"Would you like my mask? Would you like my mirror?"
D
Cries the man in the shadowing hood
Gm D Gm D
You can look at yourself, you can look at each other
Gm D
You can look at the face, the face of your god

[Intro]
C
[Verse]
F C G Am Em
Stars were falling deep in the dark, darkness
C F C Dm C Dm G
As prayers rose softly, petals at dawn
Dm Am Em F G Am
And as I listened, your voice seemed so clear
F C G Am F G
So calmly, you were calling your god
[Instrumental]

La la la la la, etc.
Dm F G F
La la la la la, etc.
[Verse]
Am F G Am
Somewhere the sun rose o'er dunes in the desert
F C G F C G
Such was the stillness I ne'er felt before
Dm Am G Am Em F C Dm C G
Was this the question pulling, pulling, pulling you?
Dm F C G Dm F G F
In your heart, in your soul, did you find peace there?
[Interlude]
Dm Am Em F G Am
La la la la la, etc.
Dm F G F
La la la la la, etc.
[Verse]
Am F G Am
Elsewhere a snowfall, the first in the winter
F C G F C G
Covered the ground as the bells filled the air
Dm Am G Am Em F C Dm C G
You in your robes sang, calling, calling, calling him
Dm F C G Dm F G F
In your heart, in your soul, did you find peace there?
C F C G Dm F G F
In your heart, in your soul, did you find peace there?
