C     Am        G          C
oh my love as a light as a dove 
C              Am        G          C
as skinny as fair and dark is her hair
Am                C          G          C
and her eyes dart round and fall on the ground 
Am                  C        G           F
and her lips move along to an old country song

C                    Am             G     C
oh down south you'll find among the high pines
C              Am             G     C
an old liquor store where we danced on the floor
Am                   C           G        C
oh the light on the wall it lightens the hall
Am                  C           G         F
but the room in the back is quiet and black

C               Am          G          C
what keeps me alive is the greed in your eyes
C                Am               G             C
and the sweetness and drone of your voice on the phone
Am            C             G         C
but i hear in death your voice and breath
Am            C             G         F
but I hear them sounds in life underground

C               Am          G           C
oh how likely she was among the white stars
C               Am          G           C
and craning her neck she steps round the deck
Am              C             G         C
and i bow in the sand to your lily white hand
Am              C             G         F
and my head gently rests in your lily white breast
