Introduction: D F D F
D2 D2/F
Earth went silent, London fell asleep
D2 D2/F
She dreamed of winter where you appeared to me
D2 D2/F G2
Perfect timing as new petals in November
Bb2 C2
A tender creature, a fever, disarming, fluorescent
D F
There you were with your mirror
D Em
Shining the world all over me
Dm C
There I was with my butterfly net
Bb C
Trying to catch your light
D F7M
I collected stupid ashes
Bb C2
so that after you'd gone I could hold onto something
Dm C2

Bb C2
Unsubsiding, pining, for now and for never
D F

D Em

Bbm Bb C
And wake tomorrow, hollow, hardly forgetting
D F D Em
There you were
Dm C
There I was with my butterfly net
Bb C
Trying to catch your light
