I saw you tonight by the light
                    F5
Of the shining black stars that circle my heart
C5 C5          C5    C5          C5
I saw you come in, though it was dim
            F5               
I have been listening from the beginning

Bb5
When you arrived
It was as if we had both died
F5
And gone somewhere else
You and myself
Bb5
That otherworldly feeling
Came over me stealing
F5
My mind was reeling
Blood bleeding
C5  C5      C5    C5
Red like my guitar
C5   C5    C5   C5
Whoever you are
F5
Cold in the night
I think you're right
      C5   C5  C5   C5
To whisper and listen
C5    C5    C5     C5
Like flowers glisten
F5
In a quiet garden
F5                             C5
The moon is wizened and it is old
C5   C5  C5           C5    C5    C5     C5
As a toad in a Chinese story

G5
The fallen glory of my ego
F5
Is laid at the feet of all our purposes
       C5
And my purpose is to keep on dreaming

Bb5                    
I am fishing for wishes 
            F5
That's where you come in
Though it was dim 
Bb5
When you arrived
It was as if we had both died
F5
And gone somewhere else
You and myself
