FF                            Bb majorBb
The only road I walk alone, where beauty nails me to her cross
FF                             Bb majorBb
Bleeding from my hands and feet I whisper that my love is lost
FF
I water flowers in the rain, I dance beneath your silver flames

I'm crippled by the sound of love,
             FF
Beating in my lonely frame
     Bb majorBb  G minorGm
My lonely frame

  FF               Bb majorBb

Now it's dark, you have my heart frozen on your empty face
FF                               Bb majorBb
Maybe soon my luck will change and love will find a resting place
FF
I water flowers in the rain, I dance beneath your silver flames
Bb majorBb
I'm crippled by the sound of love
           FF
Beating in my lonely frame

This lonely frame
