[F#m]
Do you remember [D] when you walked with me
[E] down the street into [D] the square?
[F#m] How the women [D] selling rosemary [F#] pressed the branches [D] to your chest,
promised luck and [E] all the rest, put their fingers in [D] your hair.
[F#m]
I admit you [D] just the day before,
[E] like an accident [D] of fate,
[F#m] in the window [D] there behind your door.
[E] How I wanted [D] to break into that room [E] beneath your skin,
but all that would [D] have to wait.
[F#m] In the carmen of the [D] moderns, with the statues in the courtyard,
[G] whose heads and hands were taken [A] in the burden of the sun,
[F#m] I had come to meet you [D] with a question in my footsteps.
[G] I was going up the hillside [A] and the journey just begun.
[F#m]
My sister says she [D] never dreams at night.
[E] There are days when I [D] know why.
[F#m] Most possibilities [D] within her sight,
[E] with no way of [D] coming true,
cause some things just don't [E] get through into [E] this world, although [D] they try.

[F#m] And all I [D] know [G] of you [A] is in my memory.
[F#m] And all [D] I ask [G] is you [A] remember me.
