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