[Verse 1]
D G D A
From far away I'm coveting your white violet skin
G D A
And missing the fall of your hair
D G D A
Worlds away I'm courting your everything
G D A
And giving you all that I dare
G A Bm D
I long to stay but the road has my number
G D A
Still I don't have to miss you for long
G A Bm D
Little did I know, all these new thoughts of home
G D A
Come Tuesday or Wednesday I'm gone
D G D A
Never had such Valentines as these on my mind
G D A
All the faces I've seen, the places I've been
D G Bm C
They don't stack up, even at the same time
G A D
To you and your white violet skin
[Verse 2]
D G Bm A
How can one claim perfect love, perfect trust
G D A
And not know the wonders I know?
D G Bm A
Dreams are all well and good, but mine live and breathe
G D A
Who knew? You came true, I suppose.
G A Bm D
If wishing on stars ever falls out of fashion
G D A
We can move to the Pleiades with no backward glance
G A
Maybe between worlds and blackness
Bm D
I'll get up the nerve
G D A
To finally ask you to dance
[Verse 3]
D G D A
There'll be space for you always in my harmony
G D A
Though I never knew this before
D G Bm A
Every note, "I love you," no matter the chord
G A D
That's all any love song is for
G A D
That's all any love song is for
[Verse 4]
Bm D C
The wild foxes danced when you laughed in your cradle
G D A
The magpies fell silent when you learned to sing
G D C
Imagine my luck, to be part of your fable
G D A A
Where you hold my heart like the fruit in your hand
Bm D C
The mockingbird sang when I lay in my cradle
G D A
The pipers all played when I rose up to stand
G D C
I'll walk all the roads 'til I'm no longer able
G D A A D
And treasure your heart like the song in my hand
[Solo]
G Bm A G D A
[Verse 5]
G A Bm D
Just to say I love you in well-hidden ways
G D A
That's all any song says, each note when it's played
G A Bm D
This one's too honest, but you're smiling, I pray.
G D A
I am wide open, only a little afraid
[Verse 6]
D G D A
From far away I'm coveting your white violet skin
G D A
And missing the fall of your hair
D G Bm A
With just a laugh you rearranged the world as it is
G D A
Spoke your heart and gave me leave to care
G A Bm D
I will ever long to stay but the road has my number
G D A
Still I don't have to miss you for long
G A Bm D
Little did I know, all these new thoughts of home
G D A
To tether me when I am gone
D G Bm A
Never had such Valentines as these on my mind
G D A
All the faces I've seen, the places I've been
D G D C
They will never stack up, even at the same time
G D
To you and your white violet skin
G A D
To you and your white violet skin
