Chants

Songs, chants, and vocal traditions.

Berlin

The city hums in borrowed shoes e G

No one stays, and no one leaves D C

No return, just second starts e G

Eyes that flicker, doors that close D C

There's always someone just arrived e G

Or packing up before their dues D C

Die Stadt keeps half a breath again e G

Not for love, but just in case D C

Ch:

No one stays — not really C G

They just leave so cleanly D C

This city feeds on nearly C G

And love that folds without a gasp D C

Du warst nah, or close enough C G

Die Stadt makes absence look like love D C

You left a charger, not a note e G

I watched the silence take your shape D C

This city teaches how to float e G

Above the ache, below escape D C

Some places ask you to belong e G

This one lets you drift instead D C

I whispered something once in song e G

It came back faint, ein Schlag zu Spät D C

Ch:

Niemand bleibt - nicht wirlich C G

Just a trace, an unread text D C

This city lives so sparsam C G

It will not see those who fade D C

You were close, or close enough C G

Die Stadt makes absence look like love D C

B:

There's no arrival, just a drift a G

A thousand hearts without a lift D C

Elsewhere softens when you stay a G

This one clears the space away B7 B7

Ch:

Second train, second glance C G

I stayed too long to call it dance D C

Next best thing that never came C G

Die Stadt forgets without a name D B7

Smoke and echoes, none to blame C G

I miss you like I missed my name D B7

Outro

There's a whisper I never heard e C

A light I never seen G D

You might be there — or niemand knew C G

In here, it all feels the same e B7

Breath and Hold

Breath and hold, I am of stone d Bb

On night of lights, on night of joy F C

The path is lone.

Breath and hold. Put strings on fate

For one more night, on hope alone.

The home is gone.

Hold the breath. Wait just more.

Another day, another week, on and on

On thin hope.

Hold the breath. Hold the tears.

Maybe there's some joy. In the wait

For another day alone

Hold and hold

Strung between hope and same old

The path goes on

Maybe there's joy.

Or not.

In waiting. Alone.
