Silence - Tea Party

Open C tuning (again):
e tuned down to d
B tuned up to C
G left the same
D tuned down to C
A tuned down to G
E tuned down to C

There are a lot of instruments in on this, so I'm VERY likely wrong.  This
is just MY interpretation.  The timing is probably wrong (I'm not that good).
It's just four dashes (-) for every quarter note.  This is just a guess, but
I think it's in 4/4 timing (please correct me).

    Si-lent spirit   walks before me   with her beauty and with her eyes

    Heaven help me  I feel I'm fading  I should rest here for a  while

(INTRO riff again)

VERSE riff over
    
    In the dreamtime I'm awakened      as  my  senses  sieze the night

    Heaven help me  I'm foresaken      I should rest here for a  while

BRIDGE:
(For the beginning, just improvise by playing assorted notes on the B (C)
string and the two lower ones open [like the verse], but remember to keep
them in scale-just fool around with it).

   Dry are the lips that lost the taste of love

   Drown in the waters that would give you life
   Cry as this lamentation thrusts its knife
