GOn (320003@1)the quiet night I met you the wind swam through your hair

      G (320003@1)                             C (x32010@1)   C/B (x2555x@1)   AmI (x02210@1)was standing in the lowlight as you sang into the room
          Em (022000@1)        G (320003@1)                C (x32010@1)       Gand (320003@1)I was lonely as a tombstone you were holy as a tomb

On the night I met your lover he held his body close
He knew my bones were howling but I blamed it on a ghost
I chose my words like sunday dress my truth could not be found
But the truth is I will take his love and lay her body down

[Violin Solo for one verse]

On the frigid night I met you I tried to hold my tongue 
My body was evoked with the weakness of the young
I felt our heat connecting through the thick haze of the room
I was lonely as a tombstone you were holy as a tomb

On the night I left my lover he held his head down low
My skin was cold and silver but I blamed it on the snow
I slept beside the fire but the warmth will not be found
Till you take me in your sun kissed arms and lay my body down
