Love And Regret

Intro - E    C#m    A    B    x2

A                         B
Cold dawn won`t comfort you
A                          B
Cold coffee won`t see you through
A                          B
Cold sheets won`t heal your heart
A                               B
Your frozen fingers or your name so tarred


E             C#m           A                  B
I know so rarely that things come your way
E                   C#m                  A          B
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight
E                     C#m           A              B
Your mind`s not lived in the way ours are set
E                 C#m       A               B
Your heart is open to love and regret


Continues after the ad
A                             B
Rings and letters they pass you by
You wish them well and seldom cry
 For stones and promises and wedding sighs
You`ve known the times that you`ve lived and died


E                  C#m         A                B
These sailors come and spend time ashore
Their thoughts are hoarded as yours have been stored
Your mind`s not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret


E              A                            B
               Outside in the morning air

I hear the soundtrack of the Blues harp player
It touches feelings that you don`t arouse
Knocks me back to that shuttered house
Take me back when they`re all out
Take me back to that shuttered house
