FCDF F C I just wanted to be so much better than me Dm F But I lost the talisman, so I could not be free F C And the ladies they watch as I sneer through my scarves Dm F And I smirk mischievously and imagine they had the hearts F C Then I got up and left and I turned a corner right Dm F Though I could not keep my rent, there were shadows in my sights F C As I shuffle through the dark I was a heading to the park Dm F But I did not become afraid when I heard he dogs starts to bark F C It might have been cold or warm, but I did not seem to care Dm F I was waving my arms in the aeromatic air F C Then I fell to the ground, but I heard a million sounds Dm F There were whistles there were bells. There were screams and exploding shells F C I found teeth marks in my thigh and I started to cry Dm F No longer wanted to try, but I did not ask why ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/willis_earl_beal/away_my_silent_lover_crd.html ) F C Then your hollow, hollow face was emerging from the willow trees Dm F Though I could not see your eyes I continued to gaze with ease F C And away my silent lover, you're just changing with the grass Dm F Oh so slowly you float, oh so so gracefully you pass F C And I do not see you smile. You don't talk, you don't laugh Dm F You're the Shepard of my sheep, the keeper of my golden calf F C And your love is truly true, mysterious, handsome too Dm F In the wind and in the rain, never had to be pursued F C When I'm cold and in the gutter, I simply shut my eyes so tight Dm F Sitting warm it makes me shudder and I soon feel alright F C And away my silent lover, one day we'll shall be together Dm F There will remain no contemplation, no more schemes or endeavors F C When my heart disintegrates and my voice is no more Dm F We'll eternally be mates from the horizon to the shore F C But for now it's all nostalgia, you're a cinematic spector Dm F Cast your image from the blinds by the glow of the old projector F And away my silent lover C Dm And away my silent lover http://www.willisearlbeal.com/
