_ _ _ _ [G] I saw the back of [Bm] the stars _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
tremble [Bm] and fall, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] while _ [Bm] seahorses played _ on _ [G] _ _ the slope of [Bm] your breast. _
_ _ _ _ [G] I saw a hundred [Bm] angels _ _ [G] rush _ _ _ to [Bm] the ground. _ _
_ _ _ [F#] They were giving you [Bm] _ garlands _
_ [Em] _ _ and giving you [Bm] _ crowns. _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] The flowers [Bm] are everywhere, _ _
_ [G] _ _ Christ glorious [Bm] _ entwined. _ _ _
_ _ [G] The dip of the [Bm] moon _ _ _ _
[G] _ and the sun as it [Bm] shines, _ _ _ _ _ [G] and the roots as they [Bm] burrow _ _ _ [Em] _
_ and tunnel [Bm] through
earth, _ _ and the [F#] birds as they soar on their [Bm] wings.
_ _ [Em] I heard them whisper your [Bm] name, _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Em] and I remember you [A] there, _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] and the turtle [Bm] doves hiding _ as
[Em] _ _
your [G] eyes [Bm] roared with light, _ _ _ _ _ [G]
and I remember your [Bm] smile _ so _ [Em] _ _ _
_ wide and so [Bm] red, _
_ _ _ _ _ [G]
whilst the
[Bm] snowflakes covered _
_ _ [G] _ _ _
your hair with [Bm] their _ seals, _ _ _ _ [G] and I remember [Bm] our bliss _
_ _ [G] _ _ [B] as we gazed [Bm] at the
wall, _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Em] and I remember [A] you there, _ [G] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
and [Em] I remember you [A]
there _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _
with [Bm] your mockingbird hair.

Some [Bm] years ago, _
_ _ _ [Em] _ we had sat [Bm] down and wept _
_ _ _ _ [G] with the sea in [Bm] our ears, _
_ _ [Em] _ and seven [D] cats [Bm] on our
laps, _ _ _ _ _ whilst the books gathered dust, _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
unread and [Bm] untrue, _ _ _ _ _ [Em] and you flicked through [Bm] the letters
I _ [Em] _ _ could [D] not bear [Bm] to read. _ _
