 Love,  risin from the mists,
 Promise  me this and only  this,
 Holy  breath touchin'  me
 Like a wind  song,
 Sweet  communion  of a kiss
 Sun,  siftin' thru the  grey
 Enter  in, reach me with  a ray
 Silently  swoopin'  down
 Just to  show me
 How to give  my heart away
 Once  a crystal choir
 Appeared while I was sleepin'
 And called my name
 And when they came  do__wn
 nearer
 Sayin', "Dyin'  is done",
 Then a new  song was sung
 Until somewhe__re
 We breathed  as one
 (and still I hear  their whisper)
 Stars,  burstin' in the sky
 Hear  the sad nova's  dyin' cry,
 Shimmerin'  memory
 Come and  hold me
 While  y'show  me how to fly
 Sun,  siftin' thru the  grey
 Enter  in, reach me with  a ray
 Silently  swoopin'  down
 Just to  show me
 How to give  my heart away
 Lately  sparklin' hosts
 Come fill my dreams descendin'
 On firey beams
 I've seen 'em come  clea__r down
 Where our poor  bodies lay,
 Soothe us gently  and say,
 "Gunna wipe  a__ll your tears  away"
 (and still I hear  their whisper)
 Love,  risin from the mists,
 Promise  me this and only  this,
 Holy  breath touchin'  me
 Like a wind  song,
 Sweet  communion  of a kiss

 Thanks to Rich Smorgasbord and Ludwig-van for figuring out the chords.
 I just did the easier (but still tedious) part of placing the chords.
