Verse 1:
G5                      C5
Just for you with your open hands
F5               G5     D5  G5
Waiting for the touch of man
( G5 )                 C5 
Clutching with your blackened gloves
F5                  G5   D5   G5
You try to capture all the doves
     G5    D5 G5
That flee into 
    C5       G5
The forest before you

Verse 2:

You wish to catch and cage me now

I wonder if you remember how

Hard it was to say the names

Of mirror dreams and cheated games

And on the wall 

You framed your first lover

Verse 3:

Your form intrigues me with the glow

I'll remember you I know

Though I forgot to lock the chain

Around you with a prayer for rain

To bring the call 

To drive you back into my bed


D5
Ahhh....

She turns away

Telling me to follow for a while

Ahhh....

She waits


C5                  D5
You'd be touched if you would touch
C5           D5
But you only reach and taunt
G5                  C5
Will my taste stay grey and blue
F5           G5    D5    G5
If I try to turn from you
