Capo 1st Fret
Verse:
EThere are things I will not dBo
AI will even be mean and Ecruel
EAnd I will not stay with yBou
AUnless you give me all of Eyourself
And when I was a sandy blue
In friendship dwelled in western true
Smoke and pill and lovely tune
That was before you gave [a view/of you ?]
And make a future dream be ours
Through your eyes I swallow flowers
And disdain the winter showers
Choosing then to bathe in you

And I sing evil, I sing good
I sing as a seagull should
And if you melted then I would
Melt myself all into you
Can you love the one that God does?
Can you love the lily of the field?
Can you tend the soil inside of her
Till all has been revealed?
