Pale September, I wore the time [B] like a dress that [Ab] year
The autumn [A] days swung soft [Ab] around me like cotton on my skin
But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and [C]
disappeared
[Ebm] My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
[Abm]
But then he [Db] rose, brilliant [Abm] as the moon in full
And sank in the burrows of [Db] my cave
And all my [Eb] armor would've fallen down
[Gb] Then a pile [Eb] of my feet
[Db] And my [Ab]
winter [Eb] giving way to [Gb] warmth
As I'm [Db]
saying hello [Eb] to sleep
[Ab]
[Am] [Ab] He goes along just as a water lily
[Am] [Ab] Gentle [Am] on the surface [Ab] of his thoughts his body floats
[Ebm]
Unweighed down by passion or intensity
[Ab] Yet unaware of [Ebm] the depth upon which he coasts
[Abm]
And he [Db] finds a [Abm] home in me
For what misfortune so [Db] he knows my touch will reap
[Gb] And all [Ab] my armor [Eb] would've fallen [Ebm] down
[Gb] Then a pile of [Eb] my feet
