You are the beautiful lover
-/ (or -7b5/Bb)
My Lover
I am the distant shore
So far away
There is so much to uncover
Love's hiding
What is this distance for
What is it for
Out of the dark I am falling
I^Òm fallin'
Into your warm candle flame
So bright
A butterfly pinned to love's calling
Love's calling
Why must this magic be named
Must it be named
We've filled the air
With silent stares
But still no one dares
-7b5/ /
We are strangers
The sad jealous praise
As the symphony plays
And we are the foolish arrangers
The foolish arrangers
