It's 10th of January and I still ain't had [C#m] no sleep
She [E] comes waltzing [A] in the night time [B] made of wings
She [E] is dressed up like a bandit with a hundred [C#m] sparkling rings
_ [E] Looking for [A] my company [B] to keep
_ [A] Coming [B] closer to me [E] she doesn't say [A] a word
In the shadow [F#m] of the Cog [B] Rock Tower
Where [E] the sounds of the night were the only things [C#m] we heard
_ _ [A] In [B] my darkest [E] hour _ _ _ _
_ She don't want to hear no secrets she [A] would guarantee [C#m] me that
She [E] knows there ain't [A] no words that [B] can describe her
With [E] her white silk scarves and her black [C#m] Spanish hat
_ [E] She knows there ain't [A] no way I [B] can deny her
Yes, [A] a blue [B] velvet perfume [E] filling up [A] the night
The guards are [F#m] all asleep at [B] Watchtower
_ [E] The moonlight held her breast as she easily [C#m] undressed _ _
[A] In [B] my [E] darkest hour _ _
_ _ _ _ Father's in his chambers with his friends all [C#m] gathered around
_ [E] They are plotting [A] their [B] enemy's demise
_ [E] With their last detail done they await the [C#m] coming sun
While [E] I am [A] staring at my [B] lover's eyes
[A] Her brothers [B] and her sisters [E] are all through [A] for tonight
Pretending that they've just come [B] into power _
[E] But she, far most of all, knows that they can [C#m] only fall
_ [A] In [B] my [E] darkest hour
_ Hungry _ _ _ _ _

wings, the melodies [A] of my love [C#m] awakens me
_ [E] In the midst [A] of the [B] sunburst's first light
_ Her hands are [E] holding up the skies [A] as I hid my [C#m] opened eyes
[E] Every move [A] just for self [B] and that's alright
_ [A] Soon I went [B] along my way [E] with no words I [A] could explain
As she [F#m] began descending [B] to the tower
[B] Her [E] safety now concerns me, a circumstance [C#m] to blame _ _ _
[B] In my [E] darkest hour
