Tono:
Am F In my dream you were beautiful,
C G backlit, noble
Am F In the lowlight of the window, you
C G were leaning on the edge
Am F The high rises and billboards, for
C G perfume and call girls
Am F The steam above the dark road, the
C G smoke around your head [Verse 2]
Am F C I knew you by description, the
G tall tales, the pictures
Am F Your short hair and your lipstick,
C G the smell of coming rain
Am F C I wanted to remain there, a
G voyeur, a stranger
Am F Below you in the night air, just
C G waiting to be changed

[Verse 3]
Am F C Eyeliner and nylons, the calm
G upon your face drawn
Am F C Revealing next to nothing, a
G deal you don’t believe
Am F The bible in a locked drawer, the
C G past you gave it up for
Am F The hymnal and the comfort in
C G exchange for living free [Verse 4]
Am F And lined up with the laundry,
C G your slacks and all your stockings
Am F Suit jacket and the soft things
C G you dance in when you dream
Am F The neighbors never mention, the
C G woman they see leaving
Am F Is the man who works the morning
C G shift selling gasoline [Verse 5]
Am F In my dream you were stone still,
C G shadowed, half built
Am F A masterpiece of pure will, just
C G waiting on the world
Am F G To gaze upon your body, a razor on a rough cheek
Am F The blaze of burning beauty, the
G saved and the worth saving
Am F G A hallelujah waiting to raise the heavy curtains
Am F G A play with no good ending, a prayer that never mentioned
Am F The glory of the question and the
C G answer is the same
