Cyclone/Candles In The Rain (from the cd Ballroom Streets)

Words and Music by Melanie Safka Schekeryk

I wait for the day to burn into night
A---------------F---G-------------C------------------------------------

And then I wait for daaaaaaaaaawn
Dm---------------C---------D----Dm----------------------------------

And I open my eyes when it gets bright
Dm----A---Dm--------C-----------------------------------------------

You know I must be home
Em-----------C----E---Em---------------------------------------------

Oh God I know I must be home
Am-Dm---Bb-----------G---Dm--------------------------------------

I know I must be home

Bb---------C---D---G--------------------------------------------------

God I’m coming home

G-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hold tight cyclone
Dm-----------C----------------------------------------------------------

Found love in the music but lost in the overtones
C------Gm----------------------Bb---------------C---------------------

Sweat on the brow, blood on the lips, love for the money
Dm----------------------C------------------G---------------------------

And gold at the fingertips...at the fingertips

Bb--------------------C-----------------Dm-----------------------------

C-----F-----Dm-------------C-------------------------------------------

Hold tight cyclone
Dm------------C----------------------------------------------------------

The fool that continued with love keeps me holding on
C---Gm--------------------------Bb-----------------G-----C---G--C--

And it feels good yes it does real slow

I love you to hurt me but pain makes me let you go

Don't need no religion to look for the kingdom come
C------G---------------------Bb------------------------C------------------

You gotta feel for the ground, reach for the sky, leap off the edge
C----------Dm---------------------C-------------------G------------Am--

To see if you fall or fly if you fall or fly

D---------Dm---------D----------Dm-------D--------Dm------------------

We were so close there was no room

Dm------------C--------------------Dm---------------------------------------

We bled inside each other’s wounds

D----------C----------------------Dm-----D----------------------------------

We all had caught the same disease

Dm-----------C---------------Am--Dm--------------------------------------

And we all sang the songs of peace

Dm------C-----------------------Dm------------------------------------------

Some came to sing some came to pray

Dm--------------C---------------------Dm------------------------------------

Some came to keep the dark away

Dm----F--------C--------------G-Dm----------------------------------------

Cos if you don’t we’re gonna stay black against the night the night
