On a chair with a dead magazine
E               F#
In the cave at the tip of the lily

In some hallways where love's never been

Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
E                     F#
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking

They've been sentenced to death by the blues

B        D#m/A#     G#m
There's an attic where children are playing
B                G#m
Where I've got to lie down with you soon
E             F#
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
E         E D#m C#m B   D#7/A#
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
G#m
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow

All your sheep and your lilies of snow

Dragging its tail in the sea

B            G#m
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
B     D#m/A#   G#m
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
E             F#
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
E       E D#m C#m  B
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
B            G#m
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
B         D#m/A#   G#m
With the photographs there, and the moss
E                  F#
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
E     E D#m C#m B   D#7/A#
My cheap violin and my cross
G#m
And you'll carry me down on your dancing

To the pools that you lift on your wrist
