From the heights of the town

her handmaids will announce
B F#m
her undying presence
B F#m
within her seven-pillared house
D A E D
Gifts of gold lie undisturbed

at her open door

Give until nothing's left then

Her words ring out all too clearly

in your ears

Until all else disappears

in a never ending night
B F#m
she shines like boundless light

Though she calls quietly

All from me

Heaven up above waiting all the time

for you to make the age old climb

but sliding down takes no time

Gifts of gold lie undisturbed

at her open door

Her words ring out all too clear

Hers is the love for which rivers flow

men fall from ladders to the ground below
Then a raucous jam at the end on F#m, A kinda thing.
