A5                 D5               E5     
     He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
     A5                 D5                       E5     
     He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
     A5                 D5                 E5   
     He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
     A5                 D5               E5     
     I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me
     
     He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil
     He said laugh a while, i can make your heart feel
     He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god
     And then cry with joy at the depth of my love
     
     Cause i've prayed days, i've prayed nights
     For the lord just to send me home some sign
     I've looked long, i've looked far
     To bring peace to my black and empty heart
     
     My love will stay till the river bed run dry
     And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
     I love him longer as each damn day goes
     The man is gone and heaven only knows
     
     Cause i've cried days.  I've cried nights
     For the lord just to send me up some sign
     Is he near? Is he far?
     Bring peace to my black and empty heart
     
     So long day.  So long night
     Good lord, be near me tonight
     Is he near? Is he far?
     Bring peace to my black and empty heart
