Verse
AmGF
I can't see my way when
AmGF
shame is covering my eyes.
AmGF
Carry a flame for me that I might make it;
AmGF
Faltering forward as the time.

Verse
AmGF
I can leave no traces
AmGF
Or I can move the stars in space;
AmGF
But I can say nothing for the weight of the action
AmGF
that lies like scars upon my face.
Chorus
GFGF
But I will say for you anything you need to hear ...
GAm
I mean it
GAm
I mean it;
GF
Take the longing from these
GAm
restless eyes
GAmGF
And keep it for as long as you need it.
GAm
I mean it;
GF
Take the longing from me.

AmGF
I won't see you changing
AmGF
should you remember me somehow.
AmGF
What in the world would make me feel that way
AmGF
When nothing on earth would make me now?

All I ever wanted

But I will play for you any part you need, my love ...

I mean it

Take the longing from me.

Verse
AmGF
I can't make things right, baby
AmGF
But you know that I will try.
AmGF
Say that I waited from now till forever;
AmGF
Say that my tongue should never speak;
AmGF
Say that I stayed here and lay down beside you;
AmGF
Say that I buried my mouth in your hair.
