Gm Ab
Yes my love, I confess to you
Gm Ab
I am only here to break your heart in two
Bb Ab
The very flower you chose that day
Bb Ab
Its only task was to decay
Cm
You see?
Gm Ab
When I watched your first bathing
Gm Ab
I only warned you with a lowered voice
Bb Ab
"Be wary of my river's undertow
Bb Ab
It flows with water from the coldest source"
Cm
Did you hear?

And then I made sure
F Eb
You would always return
F
You still know of dawn
F Eb
But you always return
[Verse]
Gm Ab
When you hid under my black wings
Gm Ab
They couldn't have protected you from anything
Bb Ab
Once in flight they would have let go
Bb Ab
You would have once again wound up below
Cm
Only broken
Gm Ab
Indeed, it's wrong to keep you near me
Gm Ab
One could call me cruel and deceiving
Bb Ab
But in your sacred air I am full of light
Bb Ab
Your loving arms are the true delight
Cm Gm
To which I'm lost
[Chorus]
F
And you've noticed it
F Eb
There is something right here
F
You have come to love, yes you've come to love
F G
What you always will fear

[Outro]
Gm Ab
Yes, my love, I confess to you
Gm Ab
I've nothing but the means to break your heart in two
Bb Ab
My part in yours may seem important now
Bb Ab
But with every spring it will seem so small
Gm Ab
Just for now I am your fall
Gm
I am your fall
Ab
I am your fall
