In this library I could lose myself

Transports, gateways on every shelf

Dark words, bright words of ice and fire

        C      G
As if an angel did descend

          D     C#aug
And use the writer as a pen

           C       G
For here are 'Avalon of the Heart'

'Flight into freedom'

      G             D         C#aug
Come friend, let us climb the winding flights of stairs

                 C       G
Through the narrow door into the chamber bare

              D        C#aug
A single candle burns as we seat ourselves

              C            G D
Words take form in our minds and repeat themselves

             C#aug C
"My beloved and I are one

             G D
My beloved and I are one

My beloved and I are one"

Verse:

                 D        C#aug
Out here on the tower the air is cold and clear

            C        G
The stars and moon are bright above us

           D      C#aug
A night wind whispers in our ears

        C G
And it loves us

           D     C#aug
And though your body weary is

          C        G
In this grand canyon state of mind

               D       C#aug
If high stream of dreams and truth be told

          C      G
And our intentions be entwined

              D      C#aug
Then from these high flung tower walls

           C        G
Let healing grace and blessings fall

             D      C#aug
Over all this cracked and broken land

           C       G
From northern crag to southern down

            D      C#aug
From universal hall to Camden town

          C       G
From city square to village green

          D        C#aug
From parliament to housing scheme

         C        E
From Iona to the hill of dreams

Chorus:

        C#m            A
I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love

A
That it may be born again
