The Lime Tree

C                             G
I spark a match and watch the candle burn 
Am
The wick runs out and then love takes its turn 
C                    G
On fallen angels and broken sounds 
Am
We will last past the final round 
C                          G
It took a while for you to find me 
Am                     Em
But I was hiding in the lime tree 
C                     G
Above the city in the rain cloud 
Am                            Em
I poked a hole and watched it drain out 


[Verse]

C               G
Parallel to the city streets 
Am
Our broken crowns beneath our feet 
C                         G
But as we walk across the diamonds 
Am
We know that love is always shining 
C                       G
So save me love save me all the time 
Am
I’ll wash you down with a simple sip of wine 
C                            G
And toast my glass to all my loved ones 
Am
To let them know that the stars well they still shine


[Chorus]

C                          G
It took a while for you to find me 
Am                      Em
But I was hiding in the lime tree 
C                     G
Above the city in the rain cloud 
Am                            Em
I poked a hole and watched it drain out
