Lyrics

(D)She

was morn ing and I was night time.

I one day woke up to find her ly in’ be (G)side my bed.

I soft ly said, “Come (D)take me.”

For (D)I’ve

been lone ly, in need

of some one, up on as though I’d done some one wrong some where, row.

but I (G)don’t know where.

I don’t know where,

come (D)late ly.

(G)You are the sun, (A)I am the moon, (G)you are the words, (A7)I am the tune: (D)play me.

(D)Song

she sang to me, song

she brang to me, words

that rang in me, rhyme

that sprang from me (G)warmed the night.

And what was right

be (D)came me.

(G)You are the sun, (A)I am the moon, (G)you are the words, (A7)I am the tune: (D)play me.

(G)You are the sun, (A)I am the moon, (G)you are the words, (A7)I am the tune:

play

me.
