(Tom F )

Bb         F           Bb         F
Out of the blue on the wings of a dove
  Bb        F                          C
A messenger comes, with the beating of drums
                      Bb/F
It's not a message of love


    Bb           F         Bb      F          
Our childern are born, and we keep them
     Bb            F                     C
They must have the right, to live in the light
                    D#             F
To be safe from the storm


Bb         F          Bb           F
Out of the blue, with wings on his heels
  Bb        F                 C 
A messenger comes, bearing regrets
                     Bb/F           F 
For the time that he steals


    Bb          F        Bb             F
But steal it he will, my children's and mine
 Bb           F                      F
Against our desires, against all our needs
                       D#             F        Dm
Our blood spilled like wine


Dm       C       Bb    C           Dm
Over and over we call . . . no one hears
Dm               C          Bb         F        Dm
And further and further and further we fall 
 Dm                        C          Bb   C
And though we pray that we soon will awake


        Dm                        C 
It is clear, that it's no dream at all
    Bb            F           G    C      F
Our lives are at stake


F    Bb        F      Bb      F
I cannot believe, nor even pretend
         Bb        F                   C
That the thunder I hear, will just disappear
                       Bb/F    F
And the nightmare will end


   Bb            F             Bb            F
So hold back the fire, because this music is true
     Bb             F                     C
When all's said and done, the ending will come
                D#      F    
From out of the blue
