Where she is all alone

Lonely in the fog

And they dance in the dark

He leans over and whispers

“I love you” in her ear

And winter to fall

They dance an endless circle

Trying not to sprawl

Behind his back a voice

I can save your love

Your eyes and your ears

These are my price
Aw Em
To save your love

Give your hearing and your sight

Aw G/B
There’s a woman in the wild

Where she is all alone
Aw G/B
She stalks her empty trails

She left all she knew
Aw G/B
A city and a cripple
Aw Em
For she could love a boy
Aw G/B
And She took all he gave

To a man Both deaf and blind
Em G
So she left him all alone
Cadd9 D
In the city of
Em
The dead
