[F] The light [Bb] came through the window, [F] straight from [Bb] the sun above.
[Gm] And so inside [C] my little room, [D] [Gm] [C] there plunged a [F] rays of love.
And streams of [Bb] light clearly saw [F] the dust you [Bb] seldom see.
[Gm] Out of which [C] the nameless makes [G] [Gm] a [C] name for one [F] like me.
[Bb] I'll try to say a [C] little more.
[F] Love went on [Bb]
[Gm] till it reached [A] an open door.
[Bb] Then love itself, [C] love itself [F] was gone.
All busy [Bb] in the sunlight, [F] the flecks did [Bb] float and dance.
[Gm] And I was [C] tumbled up with [Gm] [C] informless [F] circumstance.
I'll [Bb] try to say a [C] little more.
[F] Love went on [Bb]
[Gm] until it [A] reached an open door.
[Bb] Then love itself, [C] love itself was [F] gone.
Then [Bb] I came back from where [C] I'd been.
[Dm] My room looked the same.
[C] But there was nothing [G] left between.
[C] [C] And the [Em] nameless had [F] a name.
All busy [Bb] in the sunlight, [F] the flecks did float [Bb] and dance.
[Gm] And I was [C] tumbled up with [D] [Gm] [C] informless [F] circumstance.
I'll [Bb] try to say a little [C] more.
[F] Love went [Bb]
[Gm] on until it reached [A] an open door.
[Bb] Then love itself, [C] love itself [F] was gone.
[Bb] Love itself, [C] love itself was [F] gone.
