Am Em F G
Em Bm C G G/F#
Books and covers and part time lovers
Em Bm C G G/F#
spinning rooms in cities of rust
Em Bm C G G/F#
I'm stranded, struck out on this line
Em Bm
of smoke and fire and steel and wire
C G G/F#
and glass and spire and dust
Em G C Em G C
on to the floor at dawn with lips taught and drawn
Em G C Em G C
sleepless nights I've spent with angels heaven sent
G F Em
Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side
G F Em
stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside
G Dm Em F C G
lay with me, stay with me, lay with me, stay with me
F C G
stay with me
Am Em F G
Em Bm C G G/F#
Born of the sign of air and the twins
Em Bm C G G/F#
speak of days and another place
Em Bm C G G/F#
I wander as the gypsy under a beckoning moon
Em Bm C G G/F#
speak of time and another face
Em G C Em G C
a wayward and languid cry a fleeting and furtive sigh
Em G C Em G C
from the cradle to the grave a love to desire and crave
I'll laugh for you, and I'll dance for you
but don't ask me to shed any tears when I have to go
you are a joy and a pleasure to love and to hold
your promise is as pure as the driven snow
passing ships in the night a touch distraught and light
eyes that brightly shine, your love tonight is minethe cradle
