Verse 1
F#mD
Do you remember when you walked with me
ED
Down the street into the square
F#mD
How the women selling rosemary
ED
Pressed the branches to your chest
Promised luck and all the rest
ED
Put their fingers in your hair
Verse 2
F#mD
I had met you just the day before
ED
Like an accident of fate
F#mD
In the window there behind your door
ED
How I wanted to break in
To that room beneath your skin
ED
But all that would have to wait
Chorus
F#m
In the Carmen of the Martyrs
D
With the statues in the courtyard
G
Whose heads and hands were taken
A
In the burden of the sun
F#m
I had come to meet you
D
With a question in my footsteps
G
I was going up the hillside
A
And the journey just begun
Verse 3
F#mD
My sister says she never dreams at night
ED
There are days when I know why
F#mD
Those possibilities within her sight
ED
With no way of coming true
Cause some things just don't get through
ED
Into this world although they try
Chorus
F#m
In the Carmen of the Martyrs
D
With the statues in the courtyard
G
Whose heads and hands were taken
A
In the burden of the sun
F#m
I had come to meet you
D
With a question in my footsteps
G
I was going up the hillside
A
And the journey just begun
