she spoke to me
G5                            G5
hidden neath a mess of bygone linnen
    G5            G5
she listens as to dry a thousand tongues
   G5               G5
my love is thin and thinning
G5
some cherised flower
G5
flutters through
G5           G5
gentleborn beloved you

wrapped tight

inside your shawl

softly spoken
G5
shaken tree
    G5           G5
the ash grove we come to be
G5
the blood run
    G5
the blood run away
     G5               G5
from arm and leg to a warm heart
G5                   G5
all our colors agree
       G5    G5
in the dark
G5                G5
but no man lives upon that land
G5             G5
far enough for us to see
G5
