My darling, I loved you
I [Bb]long to become you
And [A]know what it is that you gave
[Dm]We dance the sorrow
For[Bb]give me tomorrow
[F] [Gm]
And I [F]pray night after [Gm]night and day after [F]day
Would you watch my body [Gm]weaken
Dm (Last Dm of verse only)
And my mind drift a[Dm]way?
[Dm] [Bb] [A]
[Dm]Dear lover forsaken[Bb], our love is taken [A]away
[Dm]You were my speaker[Bb], my innocence-keeper
I [F]don't night after [Gm]night, day after [F]day
Would you watch my body [Gm]weaken,
My mind drift a[Dm]way?
[Dm] [Bb] [A]
Dear lover forgiven, my love is driven by rage
Oh I should just leave you, instead I've deceived you
But I don't, night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken
my mind drift away?
[Dm]I count to no one, hold [Bb]nobody's ear
I [A]sold you my hand once and you hit me in fear
I don't [Dm]stand for the devil
I don't [Bb]whisper in ears
I [F]stand on the mountains and [Gm]call people to [F]hear[Gm][Dm]
[Dm/F] [Dm]
[Dm/F]It's a sudden burst of [Dm]light, it's a fate fore[Dm/F]told
It is [Dm]knowing, it is [Dm/F]knowing[Dm]
[Dm] [Bb] [A]
He [Dm]longs for the answers, as [Bb]all of us must
He [A]longs for the woman who will conquer his lust
He [Dm]screams in the night, I [Bb]scream in the day
We [A]weep in the evening and lie naked and pray
[F]Night after [Gm]night, day after [F]day
Night after [Gm]night, day after [F]day
Could you watch my body [Gm]weaken,
and my mind drift a[Dm]way?
[Dm/F]It's a tempting communion[Dm]
It's a fate fore[Dm/F]told
It is [Dm]knowing, it is [Dm/F]knowing
