FF
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
FF
Willow dancing on air before covering me
Bb majorBb
Under cotton and calicoes
Bb majorBb
Over canopy dapple long ago

(Intro Part A augmentedA)

FF
True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me
FF
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Bb majorBb
Must be felled for to fight the cold
Bb majorBb
I fretted fire but that was long ago

(Intro Part A augmentedA)

Your blinding light (Oooh)

Oh, it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
FF            DmDm   Bb majorBb
Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh)

FF
With the roar of the fire my heart rose to its feet
FF
Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
Bb majorBb
Settle soft and as pure as snow
Bb majorBb
I fell in love with the fire long ago

(Intro Part A augmentedA)

FF
With each love I cut loose I was never the same
FF
Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame
Bb majorBb
I was fixed on your hand of gold
Bb majorBb
Laying waste to my loving long ago

(Intro Part A augmentedA)

FF
So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
FF
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
Bb majorBb
Long as amber of ember glows
Bb majorBb
All the "would that I loved" is long ago
