But you'd fogged the window [D]when you [G]passed
Verse
The air was still and [C]smelled like [G]rain
Though I'd never known so [D]dry a [Em]spell
[Em]And what I heard there in the dark
Are the secrets I will [D]never [G]tell
Chorus
There [C]is a [G]tree [D]beyond this [G]world
In it's [C]ancient [G]roots, a [D]song is curled

Between what's [D]said and what is [G]meant

And often [D]utterly [G]alone

I'll be a pillow [C]for your [G]head
You can make me promises [D]you can't [Em]keep
[Em]And I'll believe each word you say
And I'll hum to you [D]while you [G]sleep
