[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.
