On The Night

G
On the quiet night I met you the 
wind swam through your hair
It was dancing at my eyelids and I 
C        C/B       Am
know you saw me there
      G                          
I was standing in the lowlight as 
     C     C/B     Am
you sang into the room
          Em          G           
and I was lonely as a tombstone 
       C         G
you were holy as a tomb

On the night I met your lover he 
held his body close
He knew my bones were howling but I 
blamed it on a ghost
I chose my words like sunday dress 
my truth could not be found
But the truth is I will take his 
love and lay her body down

[Violin Solo for one verse]

On the frigid night I met you I 
tried to hold my tongue
My body was evoked with the weakness
 of the young
I felt our heat connecting through 
the thick haze of the room
I was lonely as a tombstone you were
 holy as a tomb

On the night I left my lover he held
 his head down low
My skin was cold and silver but I 
blamed it on the snow
I slept beside the fire but the 
warmth will not be found
Till you take me in your sun kissed 
arms and lay my body down
