Am
My lover always meets me with a smile
F                            G
My lover always kind, always patient
Am
My lover like honey and milk
F                           G
My lover on a cold November morning

Am                        Em
But on the former Sunday I gave him in
F                          G        B-C#
And on the former Sunday he went away

Am                            Em
All the grief that I have caused is
F                       G
Nothing now, compared to this
Am                           Em
All the grief that I have given him
F                          G
Is nothing now, compared to this

F                         Am
And I can see him as he lies there
F      G                  Am
And I can see him in his grave

Am
My lover on a bed in the evening mist
F                         G
Tender and pure in his last moment
Am
My lover on a bed, spreads his beautiful hair
F                      G
Out on the pillow - out on me
