Standard (EADGBE)

I saw you tonight by the light

 Of the shining black stars that circle my heart

I saw you come in, though it was dim

 I have been listening from the beginning

When you arrived

It was as if we had both died

And gone somewhere else

You and myself

That otherworldly feeling

Came over me stealing

My mind was reeling

Blood bleeding

Red like my guitar

Whoever you are

Cold in the night

I think you're right

 To whisper and listen

Like flowers glisten

In a quiet garden

The moon is wizened and it is old

As a toad in a Chinese story

The fallen glory of my ego

Is laid at the feet of all our purposes

 And my purpose is to keep on dreaming

I am fishing for wishes

 That's where you come in

Though it was dim

When you arrived

It was as if we had both died

And gone somewhere else

You and myself
