🎸 Verse 1:
G
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
C
A willow dancing on air before covering me
Under cotton and calicoes
G
Over canopy dappled long ago

F|-0------0----------0------0---------|
G
True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
C
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felled for to fight the cold
G
Fretted fire but that was long ago

🎸 Verse 2:
G
With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
C
Like the ashes of ash
I saw eyes in the heat
Settled soft and as pure as snow

I fell in love with the fire long ago

G
With each love I cut loose
I was never the same

I was fixed on your hand of gold
G
Layin' waste to my lovin' long ago

🎸 Verse 3:
G
So in awe, there I stood as you licked off the grain
C
Though I've handled the wood
I still worship the flame
As long as amber of ember glows
