C Am G C
oh my love as a light as a dove
C Am G C
as skinny as fair and dark is her hair
Am C G C
and her eyes dart round and fall on the ground
Am C G F
and her lips move along to an old country song
C Am G C
oh down south you'll find among the high pines
C Am G C
an old liquor store where we danced on the floor
Am C G C
oh the light on the wall it lightens the hall
Am C G F
but the room in the back is quiet and black
C Am G C
what keeps me alive is the greed in your eyes
C Am G C
and the sweetness and drone of your voice on the phone
Am C G C
but i hear in death your voice and breath
Am C G F
but I hear them sounds in life underground
C Am G C
oh how likely she was among the white stars
C Am G C
and craning her neck she steps round the deck
Am C G C
and i bow in the sand to your lily white hand
Am C G F
and my head gently rests in your lily white breast
