New Ceremony Dry the River
I waited by your bedside,[C]
And [E]couldn't close my e[Am]yes all night.
I n[F]amed you like a p[C]rayer.
It's anybody's g[C]uess how,
The a[E]ngel of d[Am]oubt came down,
And [F] crept into your [Em]bed.
But after we d[C]anced to the [E]shipping fore[Am]cast,
The w[Dm]ords escaped your m[G]outh:
"I know it's gotta s[C]top love, but I d[Dm]on't know h[C]ow."
Now the stairs forget your sh[C]oes,
And the g[E]ate don't c[Am]reak for want of you.
But the j[F]ury's out on [C]me.
We're wise beyond our y[C]ears,
But we're g[E]ood at bad id[Am]eas, my love.
Or [F]so it seems to [Em]be.
S[C]hine a little light,
Don't w[E7]restle with the night,
Don't t[Dm]hink about the future [G]now.
I know it's gotta s[C]top love but I d[Dm]on't know h[C]ow.
[Dm]My little one, my kettle d[C]rum,(I know I had a message at the start.)
[Dm]My babel tongue, my come-und[C]one,(I know I had a message at the start.)
[Dm]My prison kiss, my dying w[C]ish,(I know I had a message at the start.)
[Dm]But it up and abandoned us, when we were sleeping in our b[E7]eds.
Sh[C]ine a little light,
Don't w[E7]restle with the night,
Don't th[Dm]ink about the future n[G]ow.
I know it's gotta s[C]top love but I [Dm]don't know [C]how.
[Dm]My little one, my kettle d[C]rum,(I know I had a message at the start.)
[Dm]My babel tongue, my come-und[C]one,(I know I had a message at the start.)
[Dm]My prison kiss, my dying w[C]ish,(I know I had a message at the start.)
[Dm]But it up and abandoned us, when we were sleeping in our b[E7]eds.
It's anybody's g[C]uess how the [E]angel of d[Am]oubt laid down and
[F]Sang beneath our h[Em]ouse.
I know it's gotta s[C]top love, but I [Dm]don't know h[C]ow.
I know it's gotta s[C]top love, but I d[Dm]on't know h[C]ow.
