Dm Bb A
Dear lover forsaken, our love is taken away
Dm Bb
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 Bb 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 Bb
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
Bb
I don't whisper in ears
F Gm F Gm Dm
I stand on the mountains and call people to hear

It's a sudden burst of light, it's a fate foretold
Dm Dm/F Dm
It is knowing, it is knowing
Dm Bb A
Dm Bb
He longs for the answers, as all of us must
A
He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust
Dm Bb
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
Gm
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
