[Verse 1]
G True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree C A willow dancing on air before covering me
Under cotton and calicoes
G Over canopy dappled long ago G|-----7-5--5-7p5h---0---2--0h2p0-----| D|--------7-------7-----3---------3---| Bb|-7--7----------------2-----------2--| F|-0------0----------0------0---------| G True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me C That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felled for to fight the cold
G
Fretted fire but that was long ago

[Verse 2]
G With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet C Like the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heat
Settled soft and as pure as snow
G I fell in love with the fire long ago G|-----7-5--5-7p5h---0---2--0h2p0-----| D|--------7-------7-----3---------3---| Bb|-7--7----------------2-----------2--| F|-0------0----------0------0---------| G With each love I cut loose, I was never the same C Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame
I was fixed on your hand of gold
G
Layin' waste to my lovin' long ago

[Verse 3]
G So in awe, there I stood as you licked off the grain C Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
As long as amber of ember glows
G
All the "would" that I'd loved is long ago
