Lights Out
BY EDWARD THOMAS
G6 F6/D
I have come to the borders of sleep,
Fmaj7 Am7
The unfathomable deep
Gm Am Dm
Forest where all must lose
G6 F6/D
Their way, however straight,
Fmaj7 Am7
Or winding, soon or late;
Gm Am Dm
They cannot choose.

Bb C
Many a road and track
Dm G
That, since the dawn’s first crack,
Eb Bb C
Up to the forest brink,
Bb C
Deceived the travellers,
Dm G
Suddenly now blurs,
Eb Bb C
And in they sink.

Here love ends,
Despair, ambition ends;
All pleasure and all trouble,
Although most sweet or bitter,
Here ends in sleep that is sweeter
Than tasks most noble.

There is not any book
Or face of dearest look
That I would not turn from now
To go into the unknown
I must enter, and leave, alone,
I know not how.

Eb Bb
The tall forest towers;
Eb Bb
Its cloudy foliage lowers
Cm Dm Gm
Ahead, shelf above shelf;
Eb Bb
Its silence I hear and obey
Eb Bb
That I may lose my way
Cm Dm Gm
And myself.
