[Verse]
Gm Bb F
I love a man, whose love is violence
D Gm
Who always comes, who goes away
Bb F
Who never brings me any flowers
D Gm
To blossom in my blazing shade
[Chorus]
Bb F
And all of his weak-heart love is lonely
D Gm
Our love is running out of breath
Bb F
When I wake, you cannot know me
D Gm
When I sleep, I dream of death
[Verse]
Bb F
Wire, cradle, cross and arrow
D Gm
Mother's milk or crone's rage
Bb F
Mouths like wolves, we dine like sparrows
D Gm
There is grace in great restraint
[Chorus]
Bb F
And all of his weak-heart love is lonely
D Gm
Our love is running out of breath
Bb F
When I wake, you cannot know me
D Gm
When I sleep, I dream of death
[Verse]
Bb F
And I could not help but leave and wonder
D Gm
What spirit steals your awful head
Bb F
And I am grateful for your candor
D Gm
I could not love a better man
[Chorus]
Bb F
Cause all of his weak-heart love is lonely
D Gm
Our love is running out of breath
Bb F
When I wake, you cannot know me
D Gm
When I sleep, I dream of death
