night I [D] dreamt you very [A] near, though the night was dark [F#m] beyond the glass.
I knew you'd left before I woke, but you fogged the window [E] when [A] you passed.
The air was [D] still and smooth [A] like rain, though I'd never known so [F#m] dry a smell.
And what I heard there in the dark are the secrets I [E] will never [A] tell.
There is [E] a dream beyond [A] this world, and its ancient [E] roots are songless curl.
I am the fool whose [F#m] life's been the span between what's said and what [A] is meant.

And I'll be a pillow for your head.
You can make me promises [G#m] you [F#m] can't keep.
[F#m]
And I'll believe each word you've said, and I'll hum to you, [A] I see.

[D] [A]
[F#m]
[A]
So I will [D] wander without [A] fail in circles that grow [F#m] ever wide.
The sky expands and then exhales with an ache that [G#m] never [A] will subside.
