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

(Intro Part A)

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

(Intro Part A)


Chorus:

F                    Dm     Bb
And it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
F                    Dm     Bb
Where I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)
F                    Dm     C/G
And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh)
Bb
Your blinding light (Oooh)

Oh, it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
F                       Dm     Bb
Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh)
F                   Dm     C/G
And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh)
Bb
Oh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh)

Oh, but you're good to me

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

(Intro Part A)

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

(Intro Part A)

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