Verse 1

There was a time

I could sleep anywhere

My feet on a chair,

My heart in the woods;

Verse 2

But love was aloof,

Just a beggar for tips

A mime on whose lips

No promises stood

Verse 3

But you can cut me quick

In the light of the shade,

With the edge of the green

When nothing I knew

Was all that it seemed

Verse 5
A 
Am 
Blossoms begin
D 
Like the tip of a spear,
G 
Or the curve of a tear
Am 
From a soldier who weeps;
F 
Seducing the guard
D 
Of lost years falling by
G 
As flowers to lie
Am 
On the dead feigning sleep

A 
But you cut me quick
D 
In the light of the shade,
G 
On the edge of the green
C 
E 
Of the yard's dark parade;

When nothing we knew
D 
Was all that it seemed
Am

I   still dreamed
C

Of a love to outlive us
Am

I   still prayed
C

That this night would forgive us
F

And redeem some small thing
