Into this strange elastic world
CA
Pont us kindly gave up a pearl
DG
His eternal stone and mud
DD7A
But ain't she lovely bone and blood
CA
Born of the sea
EmGA
A thousand miles away from me

A court of angels

Wards of the sun
A future forming
DD7A
A curse undone

Under our softly burning lamp she takes her time
Riff 1

Telling stories of our possible lives

And love is the ink in the well when her body writes

And she knows deep down there's a little child

A song in the tree has distracted her mind
CA
Some other curious form of life
DG
Has made it's presence to her known

And she coos so gently soft and low
CA
Her shining face in a million reflections
EmGA
in tiny raindrops that fall in a veil
DG
Over our city like notes from above
DD7A
It overwhelms me! just aint that tough
Riff 1

But she's no ordinary valentine
G
And now when the sun goes down
EA
she sheds a darling light.
