And I stood very still by the window sill

and I wondered for those I love still
G A
I cried in my mind where I stand behind

the beauty of love's in her eyes...

She was long gone, long, long gone
she was gone, gone, the bigger they come
the larger her hand, tell no one, understand,
why for so long she'd been gone.
Am Am
And I borrowed a page from a leopard's cage
D D
and I prowled in the evening sun's glaze
G A
her head lifted high to the light in the sky
A A
the opening dawn on her face...
