                   G#      A#       D#
Will I tell you a secret I've been hiding?
              G#           A#   D#
Spending the night here without you
                 Fm      Gm        G#
In pursuit of a peace I selfishly long for, baby
   G#       A#         D#
A piece of something new

We were happy until we said tomorrow
We were happy until we looked ahead
And the soul of a baby missed will haunt us
Thinking of a kid that never cried

Chorus:
Cm     Gm         Cm     Gm
In the night, she gets a fright
     G#    D#/G  Fm  D#   A#
She dreams of   all her friends
Cm        Gm          Cm        Gm
No one's spared, the dream has cared
   G# D#/G Fm  D#  A#
For everyone  she has forgotten

It's a funny old time to be a lover
An easier time to be a friend
With one arm behind my back, I'll heal you, darling
A good love, I will send

You were my lover and you were my mother
You were my sister when the ship went down
The world is killing me, I'm out to sea
But my albatross has flown

Chorus:
In the night, she gets a fright
She dreams her friends have gone
No one's spared, the dream has cared
For everyone she has forgotten

Now I'm looking at rain outside my window
A tower of hard-fought solitude
All the life of the world is elsewhere
Blood and intimacy, warm and still in love

Warm and still in love
We were warm and still in love
Warm and still in love
We were warm and still in love
