From the album For the sake of the song
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
G7 F C
Well it's many a fine lady has walked along beside me
Em F G7
With their flesh made of velvet and their eyes made of rain
C G7 F C
Well some tried to hold me, to hurt me, to hide me
Em F G7 C
And some turned away, not to look back again
[Verse 2]
G7 F C
One stood among them, I remember most clearly
Em F G7
Well her sorrows were heavy, and her laughter was slow
C G7 F C
Well I courted her gently, and I loved her most dearly
Em F G7 C
And I came her majestic reflections to know
[Verse 3]
G7 F C
oh her words, like a mountain, stood lonely and lofty
Em F G7
With her face like a daydream and her hair like the shawl
C G7 F C
Worn by a mourner, as he steals away softly
Em F G7 C
From those that would have him mourn nothing at all
[Verse 4]
G7 F C
Oh, endlessly sorrow rode high on the north wind
Em F G7
Slashing and slicing to take him his toll
C G7 F C
And endlessly creatures of darkness were cutting
Em F G7 C
Their paths through the walls that shelter the soul
[Bridge]
C G7 F C
[Verse 5]
G7 F C
Ah but no longer gypsy-like sadness unending
Em F G7
Well her eyes - they lay hollow and her face petrified
C G7 F C
Well some will go laughing and others condemning
Em F G7 C
Oh but who there among you could have told her goodbye?
