Emwings 'neath the CfallDing Gleaves.GFortDune cEmalls.[
Am-C]I stepped fGorth from the sDhadows, to the marketpEmlace,Merchants and
Cthieves, hungry for Dpower, my last deal gone Emdown.She'[
Am-C]s smelling sGweet like the mDeadows where she was Emborn,On midsummer's
Ceve, Dnear the Gtower.Interlude

Gcold-Dblooded Emmoon.The c[
Am-C]aptain wGaits above the celebDrationSending his
Emthoughts to a Cbeloved DmaidWhose ebony
Emface [Am-C]is beyoGnd communicDation.The captain is
Emdown but still believing that his lCove will Dbe repaGid.They
Gshaved Dher Emhead.She was t
Am-orn Cbetween GJupiter and ADpollo.A messenger
Emarrived with a Cblack nightingDale.I seen her on the
Emstairs a[Am-C]nd I cGouldn't help but fDollow,Follow her
Emdown past the fountain where they CliftDed her vGeil.(Interlude)
I
Gstumbled Dto my Emfeet.I rode pa[

Emstitches still mending 'neath a Cheart-shaped tattDoo.Renegade
Empriests [Am-C]and trGeacherous young wDitchesWere
Emhanding out the flowers that I'd CgivDen to Gyou.The p

Emroad and the wCailing of cDhimes,The empty
Emrooms whe[Am-C]re her mGemory is protDected,Where the
Emangels' voices whisper to the Csouls of Dprevious tGimes.(Interlude)
