D                   D/C#    Gmaj7/B  D/A    A      D
I see a place where candles burn and lovers rest tonight
 
D                  D/C#    Gmaj7/B   D/A     A     D
The hollow sound inside me now keeps telling me to write
 
    G                  D                  G        D   A
But songs of love will never leave love's feelings undefiled
 
    D                    D/C#       Gmaj7/B D/A    A       D
The tide has turned, the waves roll in, the waters fill my eyes
 
 
 
The price of lust has risen till the ceiling will not stand
 
The tears I shed were not in shame, the world was in my hands
 
If trust was just a simple thing then trusting I would be
 
But deep within my soul I know it's better to be free
 
 
 
The days fly by, the waves roll in, but freedom has not come
 
I fear my faith will soon give out, my senses come undone
 
My role is played, the demon dogs come stealin' o'er land
 
And foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to stand
 
 
 
I see a place where candles burn and lovers rest tonight
 
The hollow sound inside me now keeps telling me to write
 
But songs of love should not be sung where staying is not planned
 
And foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to stand
 
And foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to stand
