Love in a song, the only thing they said I could rely on;
C#m D#9 G# Cb Cb/A
To lay my bones down, lay down boy you're home again

The lamp, the locket, candle and the pen
F#m7 FbM7 Fbm9 Eb7b9 A
Love in a song, I've written it before it won't take very long;

The nib will dig a hole and beckon forth once more

To wrap me in its warm and bolt the door

Someone's singing to you, in a song

A# mantra often told, a cross to lay upon;
G#m A#9 D# F# F#/Fb
The strings that tie me softly pry my hands from you
D#m D#m/C# D#m/C D#m/A# G# F F/D#
To steal away before the night is through
C#m7 CbM7 Cbm9 B7b9 Fb
Love in a song, I stand among the crowd prepared to sing along;

The dusty air congeals, a lump that seals my truth

But I won't hear it anymore

Beyond the steeple, she waits for me
A#m7 D#9 G# G# G#/F#
In her robes, like a ghost;

In awful silence, she screams to me
