Am Em F C C/B

Em         Bm        C           G  G/f#
Books and covers and part time lovers
Em             Bm   C           G  G/f# 
spinning rooms in cities of rust
Em            Bm    C           G  G/f# 
I'm stranded, struck out on this line

Em                    Bm                 
of smoke and fire and steel and wire
     C                    G  G/f# 
and glass and spire and dust 

Em  G      C        Em             G      C
on to the floor at dawn with lips taught and drawn
Em        G            C     Em          G      C
sleepless nights I've spent with angels heaven sent

G             F            Em 
Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side
G             F            Em
stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside
G            Dm            Em           F     C   G  
lay with me, stay with me, lay with me, stay with me
F     C   G
stay with me

Am  Em  F C C/B 

Em           Bm      C             G  G/f# 
Born of the sign of air and the twins

Em       Bm       C           G  G/f# 
speak of days and another place

Em               Bm   C                  G  G/f# 
I wander as the gypsy under a beckoning moon

Em        Bm     C           G  G/f# 
speak of time and another face

Em           G         C      Em           G      C      
a wayward and languid cry a fleeting and furtive sigh
Em              G      C      Em        G           C      
from the cradle to the grave a love to desire and crave


I'll laugh for you, and I'll dance for you
but don't ask me to shed any tears when I have to go
you are a joy and a pleasure to love and to hold
your promise is as pure as the driven snow
passing ships in the night a touch distraught and light
eyes that brightly shine, your love tonight is minethe cradle
