Love in a song, the only thing they said I could rely on;
A#m C9 F Ab Ab/Gb
To lay my bones down, lay down boy you're home again
Fm Fm/D# Fm/D Fm/C A# G G/F
The lamp, the locket, candle and the pen
D#m7 DbM7 Dbm9 Eb7b9 Gb
Love in a song, I've written it before it won't take very long;
Am B9 E G G/F
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
Am9 B7b9 D
G mantra often told, a cross to lay upon;
Fm G9 C D# D#/Db
The strings that tie me softly pry my hands from you
Cm Cm/A# Cm/A Cm/G F D D/C
To steal away before the night is through
A#m7 AbM7 Abm9 B7b9 Db
Love in a song, I stand among the crowd prepared to sing along;
Fbm Ab7b9 Cb Cbdim7 Db
The dusty air congeals, a lump that seals my truth

But I won't hear it anymore
[Outro]
GM7 G6 F#m Bm Bm/A
Beyond the steeple, she waits for me
Gm7 C9 F F F/D#
In her robes, like a ghost;

In awful silence, she screams to me

It must be love
