and my mind drift away?

Dm A# A

Dm A# A
dear lover forsaken , our love is taken away
Dm A#
you were my speaker , my innocence – keeper
F Gm F
i don’t night after night , day after day
Gm
would you watch my body weaken ,
Dm
my mind drift away?

Dm A# A

dear lover forgiven , my love is driven by rage
oh i should just leave you , instead i’ve deceived you
but i don’t , night after night , day after day
would you watch my body weaken
my mind drift away?

Dm A#
i count to no one , hold nobody’s ear
A
i sold you my hand once and you hit me in fear
Dm
i don’t stand for the devil
A#
i don’t whisper in ears
F Gm F Gm Dm
i stand on the mountains and call people to hear

Dm A#
he longs for the answers , as all of us must
A
he longs for the woman who will conquer his lust
Dm A#
he screams in the night , i scream in the day
A
we weep in the evening and lie naked and pray

F Gm F
night after night , day after day
Gm F
night after night , day after day

could you watch my body weaken ,
Dm
and my mind drift away?

Dm/F Dm
it’s a tempting communion
Dm/F
it’s a fate foretold
Dm Dm/F
it is knowing , it is knowing
