the music was taken off of a dave solo, so is a little different from
the version with the rest of the band... actually, i think the song
sounds better with just dave.  dave plays around with the chords,
filling them in here and there, and offsetting the notes... play with
it until it sounds good.

hey, lover, came to you with best intentions
you, lay down, give to me just what i'm seeking
say love watch me now

you, and i, came to me like wine comes to
their mouths, grown tired of water all the time
oh quench my love, you quench my mouth

so, here my, do you believe that we might last a
thousand years, or more if thats for this our flesh and blood it ties
you and me ties us right up tie me now

verse:

you held me, you came to me with love life open
now, hold me, and this i must escape
or lately you gone lightly shall

you and i, needing every hour lead me back to you
and i, this i must admit how our shower falling grace
lead back up right up say we love

chorus:

verse:
