Verse 1
                     E 
You were born such a lady 
                     C#m 
without heels without gloves, 
                          F#m 
you said "draw me in your poems, 
 
and then you may throw them, 
              B 
but do it for love." 
                  E 
In the woods I lamented 
                       C#m 
that the words wouldn't come 
                      F#m 
you said "if shut the doors, 
 
all trees will be yours 
             B 
but only the trees, 
  G#m                    C#m 
because my words go like this. 
 
Chorus
         G#m           A      B 
Till thy love fears no travel 
                 C#m 
I will part from thee, 
G#m                  A 
till thy heart is unravelled 
B                E 
I will part from thee." 
               F#m 
then I yelled "no, please, no, 
                 B 
teach me how to speak." 
 
Verse 2
                      E 
"Oh the birds sing an anthem 
                      C#m 
and the path seems so clear," 
                   F#m 
you said "do not digress, 
 
you won't be caressed, 
                  B 
it's you who must sing my dear." 
                    E 
"The streets shine with traces, 
                        C#m 
with your footprints on them," 
                     F#m 
you said "get to the point, 
 
you don't try to join 
                B 
what goes on outside 
     G#m                 C#m 
with what is born in your loins. 
 
Chorus
         G#m           A      B 
Till thy love fears no travel 
                 C#m 
I will part from thee, 
G#m                 A        B 
till thy heart is unravelled 
                 E 
I will part from thee." 
              G# 
I complained "no, please, no, 
                   A 
teach me how to be clear, 
             F#m 
then I cried "please, 
                          B 
prevent me from not being near." 
 
Verse 3
                     E 
It was four when you woke up, 
                     C#m 
our bed lighter than air, 
                 F#m 
yet so many were on it, 
 
the past so erotic, 
             B 
keeps me unrepaired. 
                     E 
"Oh but love, let me touch you, 
                    C#m 
though we get really hurt," 
                      F#m 
you said "I know that pain 
 
I've felt it in vain, 
                B      G#m 
I know you will not be washed 
                C#m 
in ten years of rain. 
 
Chorus
        G#m            A        B 
For thy love fears all travels 
                 C#m 
I must part from thee, 
G#m                 A          B 
before everything's ravelled, 
                 E 
I must part from thee." 
                     G# 
Now I'll draw you as promised, 
                        A 
even though I'm running late, 
                   F#m 
I'll be kissing an old mist 
                   B 
seeing the past be washed 
            E 
away in the rain.
