Willis Earl Beal - Away My Silent Lover Chords & Tabs

F  C  Dm  F

       F                    C
I just wanted to be so much better than me
      Dm                      F
But I lost the talisman, so I could not be free

        F                      C
And the ladies they watch as I sneer through my scarves 
      Dm                       F
And I smirk mischievously and imagine they had the hearts

       F                     C
Then I got up and left and I turned a corner right
         Dm                                 F
Though I could not keep my rent, there were shadows in my sights 

     F                               C
As I shuffle through the dark I was a heading to the park
      Dm                           F
But I did not become afraid when I heard he dogs starts to bark

   F                                   C
It might have been cold or warm, but I did not seem to care 
      Dm                    F
I was waving my arms in the aeromatic air

       F                         C
Then I fell to the ground, but I heard a million sounds 
           Dm                                    F
There were whistles there were bells. There were screams and exploding shells 

        F                             C
I found teeth marks in my thigh and I started to cry
          Dm                   F
No longer wanted to try, but I did not ask why

          F                         C
Then your hollow, hollow face was emerging from the willow trees
         Dm                            F
Though I could not see your eyes I continued to gaze with ease

     F                                C 
And away my silent lover, you're just changing with the grass
      Dm                          F
Oh so slowly you float, oh so so gracefully you pass

      F                               C
And I do not see you smile. You don't talk, you don't laugh
           Dm                       F
You're the Shepard of my sheep, the keeper of my golden calf

         F                         C
And your love is truly true, mysterious, handsome too 
       Dm                          F
In the wind and in the rain, never had to be pursued 

         F                                C 
When I'm cold and in the gutter, I simply shut my eyes so tight 
        Dm                             F
Sitting warm it makes me shudder and I soon feel alright 

    F                             C
And away my silent lover, one day we'll shall be together 
           Dm                               F
There will remain no contemplation, no more schemes or endeavors 

        F                          C
When my heart disintegrates and my voice is no more
      Dm                          F
We'll eternally be mates from the horizon to the shore

        F                                C
But for now it's all nostalgia, you're a cinematic spector 
          Dm                           F
Cast your image from the blinds by the glow of the old projector 

    F
And away my silent lover 
C                         Dm   
And away my silent lover
