F C Dm F
F C
I just wanted to be so much better than me
Dm F
But I lost the talisman, so I could not be free
F C
And the ladies they watch as I sneer through my scarves
Dm F
And I smirk mischievously and imagine they had the hearts
F C
Then I got up and left and I turned a corner right
Dm F
Though I could not keep my rent, there were shadows in my sights
F C
As I shuffle through the dark I was a heading to the park
Dm F
But I did not become afraid when I heard he dogs starts to bark
F C
It might have been cold or warm, but I did not seem to care
Dm F
I was waving my arms in the aeromatic air
F C
Then I fell to the ground, but I heard a million sounds
Dm F
There were whistles there were bells. There were screams and exploding shells
F C
I found teeth marks in my thigh and I started to cry
Dm F
No longer wanted to try, but I did not ask why
F C
Then your hollow, hollow face was emerging from the willow trees
Dm F
Though I could not see your eyes I continued to gaze with ease
F C
And away my silent lover, you're just changing with the grass
Dm F
Oh so slowly you float, oh so so gracefully you pass
F C
And I do not see you smile. You don't talk, you don't laugh
Dm F
You're the Shepard of my sheep, the keeper of my golden calf
F C
And your love is truly true, mysterious, handsome too
Dm F
In the wind and in the rain, never had to be pursued
F C
When I'm cold and in the gutter, I simply shut my eyes so tight
Dm F
Sitting warm it makes me shudder and I soon feel alright
F C
And away my silent lover, one day we'll shall be together
Dm F
There will remain no contemplation, no more schemes or endeavors
F C
When my heart disintegrates and my voice is no more
Dm F
We'll eternally be mates from the horizon to the shore
F C
But for now it's all nostalgia, you're a cinematic spector
Dm F
Cast your image from the blinds by the glow of the old projector
F
And away my silent lover
C Dm
And away my silent lover
