Chord by Stuart Dybeck Lyrics

"Chord" by Stuart Dybeck

A man steps out of the sunlight
sunlight streams like grace

still gaping at blue sky
stalked across the emptiness of space

into a history where shadows
asume a human face

a man slips into silence
that began as a cry

still trailing music
although reduced to the sigh

of an accordion
as it folds into its case
