On The Night

G
On the quiet night I met you the wind swam through your hair
                                   C        C/B       Am
It was dancing at my eyelids and I know you saw me there
      G                               C     C/B     Am
I was standing in the lowlight as you sang into the room
          Em          G                  C         G
and I was lonely as a tombstone you were holy as a tomb
On the night I met your lover he held his body close
He knew my bones were howling but I blamed it on a ghost
I chose my words like sunday dress my truth could not be found
But the truth is I will take his love and lay her body down

On the frigid night I met you I tried to hold my tongue
My body was evoked with the weakness of the young
I felt our heat connecting through the thick haze of the room
I was lonely as a tombstone you were holy as a tomb
On the night I left my lover he held his head down low
My skin was cold and silver but I blamed it on the snow
I slept beside the fire but the warmth will not be found
Till you take me in your sun kissed arms and lay my body down
