Minor Key With Strings

Don't have the melody but I know these chords
Not the tool, but I hear the sound
Not the singer's words but I know his voice
If it's electric or wood, but I know
It's a minor key with strings

Darkness begets light as the wheel turns
Sadness lament, melancholy's grind
Been so long since this weary sun shone
But the laughters tell that a new day dawns
Now's a minor key with strings

You've gone so far just to be right here
Maybe out of reach but oh so near
Light will melt the void, give it time
While the old world dies, a new is born
Now's a minor key with strings

Darkness begets light as the wheel turns
Sadness lament, melancholy's grind
Been so long since this weary sun shone
But the laughters tell that a new day dawns
Now's a minor key with strings

In the city, things are darkly beautiful
Funereal, mysterious, a heavenly wail!
Now is oil flame, not the hydrogen sun
The waters shimmer, but they're not warm
Now's a minor key with strings

Darkness begets light as the wheel turns
Sadness lament, melancholy's grind
Been so long since this weary sun shone
But the laughters tell that a new day dawns
Now's a minor key with strings

And a tadpole is growing into an Ubi
With your eyes!
A cheers crescendo, just give it time
And a minor night fades
To a major days' drum
Now's a major day with drums
