[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D Sleep: the time's not yet A Early birds soon crowing D Wake when dawn declares A D A Woman risen from childish airs
[Verse 2]
D I watch, across the room A Dancing shadow, torch outside D Lights path down cobbled lane A D A Which I have walked, will walk again
[Chorus]
D Sweet field lily, sweet Shoshana D Names to conjure fragrant danger D Fingers tremble, trace the line D A D A From nape to sacrum down the spine
[Verse 3]
D Poisoned prize a trophy D Freely taken, hardly won D A minute, holds back hours D Bud emboldened, forest flowers D Moist under my hand A She sleeps; breath comes quickly D A sigh parts silky lips A Soft-swell breasts, proud golden tips

D Sweet field lily, sweet Shoshana D Names to conjure fragrant danger D My fingers tremble, trace the line D A D A From nape to sacrum down the spine
[Verse 4]
D Sweet sadness fills my heart A Offered chances best not taken D Unsullied, no vain glory: A Chapter, verse, another story D Brushed eyelids gently closed A Beauty framed in dawn-light D Savoured moment blessed A D A D A kiss, farewell, and leave to rest
