[Verse 1]

Love in a song, the only thing they said I could rely on;
F#m G#9 C# Fb Fb/D
To lay my bones down, lay down boy you're home again
C#m C#m/B C#m/A# C#m/G# F# D# D#/C#
The lamp, the locket, candle and the pen
Bm7 AM7 Am9 Eb7b9 D
Love in a song, I've written it before it won't take very long;
Fm G9 C D# D#/C#
The nib will dig a hole and beckon forth once more

To wrap me in its warm and bolt the door

A# Gm7 FM7
Someone's singing to you, in a song
Fm9 B7b9 A#
D# mantra often told, a cross to lay upon;
C#m D#9 G# B B/A
The strings that tie me softly pry my hands from you
G#m G#m/F# G#m/F G#m/D# C# A# A#/G#
To steal away before the night is through
F#m7 FbM7 Fbm9 B7b9 A
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

D#M7 D#6 Dm Gm Gm/F
Beyond the steeple, she waits for me
D#m7 G#9 C# C# C#/B
In her robes, like a ghost;
