 You Can Play This In Basicaly all Bm-G Parts
 When  you ate i saw  your eyelashes
 Saw them shake like wind on rushes
 In the corn field when she called me
 Moths surround me
 Thought they'd drown me
 And i miss  your precious  heart
  And i miss your precious heart
Dry  rose petals, red round  circles
Frame  your eyes, and stain your  knuckles
 Dry rose petals, red round circles
 Frame your eyes, and stain your knuckles
 And all those lonely nights down  by the river
 X
 Brought me bread and water, water in
But  though i tried so hard  my little darling
I  couldn't keep  the night from comin' in
 And all those lonely nights down by the river
 Brought me bread and water, kith and kin
 But in the quiet hour when i am sleepin'
 I couldn't keep the night from comin' in
 (Instrumental)
Why  you gone away
Gone  away again
I'll  sleep through the rest of the day
If  you're gone away again
I'll  sleep through the rest of the day
 Sleep through the rest of the day
 Sleep through the rest of the day
Why've  you gone
away,  away
Seven  suns, seven suns
Away,  away, away, away
Can  you hear me, will you listen
Don't  come near me, don't go missin'
 In the lissome light of evenin'
 Help me cosmia, i'm grievin'
 And all those lonely nights down  by the river
 X
 Brought me bread and water, water in
But  though i tried so hard  my little darling
I  couldn't keep  the night from comin' in
 And all those lonely nights down by the river
 Brought me bread and water, kith and kin
 But in the quiet hour when i am sleepin'
 I couldn't keep the night from comin' in
 
  Beneath the  porch light we've all been circlin'
 Beat our duck's hearts, singe our flower wings
 But in the corner, somethin's happenin'
 Wild cosmia - what have you seen?
 Water Were your  limbs, and the fire was your hair
 
And  in the moonlight caught your  eye
And  you rose through the air
Well  if you seen  true light, then this is my  prayer,
Will  you call me when you get  there?
And  i miss  your precious  heart
And  miss
And  miss x7
And  miss your heart
But  release your  precious  heart
To  its feast, for  precious heart
 
 Well, there you go, I took me the whole night, so I hope you like it!
