D        Bm            Em   A
Will you say when I'm gone away   
D        Bm         Em       A 
"My lover came to me and we'd lay     
D        Bm         Em    A 
In rooms unfamiliar but until now"

D        Bm           Em   A 
Will you say to them when I'm gone  
D        Bm         Em       A 
"I loved your son for his sturdy arms
D        Bm         Em    A   
We both learned to cradle then live without" 

D        Bm           Em   A 
Will you say when I'm gone away  
D        Bm         Em       A 
Your father's body was judgment day 
D        Bm         Em    A  
We both dove and rose to the riverside 
  
D        Bm           Em   A 
Will you say to me when I'm gone 
D        Bm         Em       A  
"Your face has faded but lingers on 
D        Bm         Em    A  
?Cause light strikes a deal
D    Bm      Em   A   
With each coming night"
