Intro 

C  x4 


verse 1 
C 
She walks alone across the burning sand 
F 
No song in her ears 
C 
No, she won't find another mother now 
F 
There is no other here 
Dm                             C 
She wanders onward never to arrive 
Dm                                     C 
The naked orphan with nothing more to hide 

C  x4 


verse 2 
C 
Calls like a pagan to the angry sun 
F 
Wincing with tired eyes 
C 
Isn't there anything worth searching for? 
F 
Is it all compromise? 
Dm                                   C 
She has no saviour and nothing to decide 
Dm                           C 
Spinning onward, a circular sky 

Dm  x2 
F   x2

Dm                                  C

Maybe nothing is all that she will find
