From the album Honey Moon D [VERSE 1]
                G    F#m 
When we were together    

                Bm Bm/A G
I lay in your river

        G           A        Bm   Bm/A Bm
As the fish swam through my hands

               G    F#m 
Raindrops and roses 

                Bm   Bm/A G
fell from the heavens

          G      A           D  Dsus4 D
Just to brush against your skin

                      G  F#m 
And a strand of your hair 

             Bm Bm/A G
lost to the wind

       G               A         D  Dsus4 D
Sent doves wheeling through the air
[CHORUS]
             G  A                   D     Dsus4 D
But now I'm alone in the petrified forest

G               A            Bm  Bm/A Bm
  Stumbling on rocks in the dark

         G  A              D    Dsus4 D
But I remember, I still remember

          G               A        D  Dsus4 D
When you held me in your beautiful arms

[VERSE 2]
                   G  F#m 
When you left me alone 

                    Bm Bm/A G
the sky turned to stone

        G           A        Bm  Bm/A Bm
And my legs rolled into the sea

             G   F#m 
Why did you go? 

                Bm Bm/A G
The sea was so cold

    G         A            D   Dsus4 D
My arms blew off in the breeze

                    G        F#m 
I search for your footprints, 

              Bm   Bm/A G
the scent of roses

        G         A         D  Dsus4 D
As the wind weeps over the sea
[CHORUS]
             G  A                   D     Dsus4 D
But now I'm alone in the petrified forest

G               A            Bm  Bm/A Bm
  Stumbling on rocks in the dark

         G  A                  D    Dsus4 D
And I remember, I'll always remember

          G               A        Bm   Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
When you held me in your beautiful arms
