Am 
Dm 
 (A minor) We went long into  (D minor) the night
E 
Our  (E major) fire was strong,
Am 
our  (A minor) eyes were bright
Dm 
And though I failed in  (D minor) my  desire
E 
Am 
I tried  (E major) my love, my  (A minor) love I tried
I know these chords have played
Dm 
 (D minor) before
E 
They played  (E major) one thousand
Am 
 (A minor) times or more
Dm 
And if I failed to write  (D minor) them new
E 
Am 
Just know  (E major) my love I tried  (A minor) for you

In the light you'll disappear

Into the world outside

In the night you shine so clear

And burn so bright

You're my sparrow in the night

And all I really mean is
