Gentle [C] tender [G] falls the rain, washing [C] clean the slate again,
but leave me please behind [G] my brain, [C] the slightest [A] shadow of her.
[G]
Shadows dancing through [C] the pink milk [G] blankets,
where my [G] mind [C] lay, dreaming [G] gently of my loving [C]
[G] you.
[C#m]
Sometimes think it was true, [G] but then I love the storm [D] beneath my feet as much.
[G] Usually, gently tender, snowdrop grows, see the past tense quietly go,
kill the [C] core but let me know, the slightest shadow of her.
[G] Shadows crawling through [C] the green bush [G] trees,
where my toes crept, breathing lightly of my [D] [C] loving
[G] you.
[E]
Sometimes think it was [G] true, but then I love the storm [D] beneath my feet as much.
[G] [C] [G]
[G]
Usually, slowly [C] splitting [G] cross the snake, see the [C] branches [G] bend and break,
[C] venom that might [G] easily shake, the [C] slightest [Em] shadow [A] of [G] her.
