like your hair and your face and your smile

and our bed and the dress that you wore

so i’ll send you my words
F Fm C
from the corners of my room

and though i write them by the light of day

please read them by the light of the moon

and i wish i could leave my bones

and my skin

and float over the tired , tired sea

so that i could see you again

floating over the ocean blue

just to find the warm bed of our lover
