[Verse 1]
Dm Dm
In the morning mist
F A#
by the waning moon
A#
through the woods she set on foot
Gm
With a sacred blade cut the berries down
C Bm A G#m B/F#
Dug up the dreaded mandrake root
[Interlude]
Bm A G#m B/F#
[Chorus]
D G Bm Bm
Tread my path to summer's end
D G Bm Bm
This bequest I leave you, she says
D G Bm Bm
You will see what could be evergreen
D G Bm Bm
Turn to copper and fade to gray
[Verse 2]
Dm Dm
By the standing stones
A#
Atropine eyes smiled at me
A# Gm
Sitting in a sluggish vertigo
Gm C
Sands of time form another dream
[Verse 3]
Dm Dm
No love without sacrifice
F A#
No life springs without decay
A#
The final kiss is a wormy one
Gm Gm
In soil's cold caress to rest we'll lay
C Bm A G#m B/F#
to rest we'll lay
[Interlude]
Bm A G#m B/F#
[Chorus]

Tread my path to summer's end
D G Bm Bm
This bequest I leave you, she says

You will see what could be evergreen

Turn to copper and fade to gray
