At night at my telescope alone, this emptiness I've roamed; The stars, a brief string of shining charms, rushing in right out of our arms; into the drifting dark R: This life, this life and then the next... R1: This life, this life and then the next, I finger the hem of your dress My universe at rest 3.

R1: This life, this life and then the next... D G F#m G D A (4x)
