F                                                        Bb
The only road I walk alone, where beauty nails me to her cross
F                                                         Bb
Bleeding from my hands and feet I whisper that my love is lost
F

I water flowers in the rain, I dance beneath your silver flames
Bb
I'm crippled by the sound of love,
                          F
Beating in my lonely frame
          Bb    Gm
My lonely frame

Chorus:

   F                             Bb
So plea-ea-ea-se keep me in your heart

So plea-ea-ea-se keep me in your heart

F                                                     Bb

F                                                             Bb
Maybe soon my luck will change and love will find a resting place
F
I water flowers in the rain, I dance beneath your silver flames
Bb
I'm crippled by the sound of love
                     F
Beating in my lonely frame
            Bb    Gm
This lonely frame

Chorus:

F                                Bb
