Capo on the first fret
All verses follow the same chord structure
[G]On the quiet night I met you the wind swam through your hair
It was dancing at my eyelids and I [C]know you [C/B]saw me the[Am]re
I was [G]standing in the lowlight as you [C]sang i[C/B]nto the [Am]room
and I was [Em]lonely as a [G]tombstone you were [C]holy as a [G]tomb
On the night I met your lover he held his body close
He knew my bones were howling but I blamed it on a ghost
I chose my words like sunday dress my truth could not be found
But the truth is I will take his love and lay her body down
(Violin Solo for one verse)
On the frigid night I met you I tried to hold my tongue
My body was evoked with the weakness of the young
I felt our heat connecting through the thick haze of the room
I was lonely as a tombstone you were holy as a tomb
On the night I left my lover he held his head down low
My skin was cold and silver but I blamed it on the snow
I slept beside the fire but the warmth will not be found
Till you take me in your sun kissed arms and lay my body down
