In this library I could lose myself

                     C               G
Transports, gateways on every shelf

                            D             C#aug
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'

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

                          C#aug  C
My beloved and I are one

                          G  E
My beloved and I are one"

I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love


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
