[Bm]
[B] [E]
What a dream I had
[A] Dressed in [G#m] [F#m] orangey
[E] Clothed in crinoline
[F#m] Of smoky burgundy
[A] Softer [F#m] than the [E] rain
I wandered empty [A] streets down
Past [G#m] the shop [F#m] displays
[E] I heard cathedral bells
[F#m] Drifting down the alleyways
[A] As [B] I walked on
[F#] And [E]
when you ran into me
[A] Your cheeks flushed [G#m] with [F#m] night
[E] You walked on frosted fields
[F#m] To the burnt-out light
[A] I held [B] your [E] hand
And
[A]
[G#m] [F#m] [E]
[D]
[A]
[Em]
[E] when I
[A] awoken
You [G#m] no [F#m] longer near
[E] I kissed your honey hand
[F#m] With my grateful tears
[A] I love [B] you, girl
[A] Oh, [G] I
[A] love [Em] you
[Bm] [E]
[F#] [E]
