 F               D# A#          F         D#   A#
Lonely, lonely, lonely child, crystalline and lace
 F             D#    A#                F         D# A#
Won't you walk with me awhile, put a smile upon my face
Cm              D#                Fsus4 F
I don't want to take your love in vain
Cm             D#         Fsus4 F
Gonna keep on coming back again

Beauty leads the full grown child, a rose among the thorns
Like a ray of sunshine, she comes, heaven in my arms
I don't wanna take your love in vain
Gonna keep on coming back again

Chorus:
D#               F
When I see you smilin'
D#                F
It takes away my pain
D#                F
Oh, there's no denyin'
D#                         F
Can't keep away from the flame

A thousand indian summers, die in desert sands
The moon and lover's shadows, they go slippin' through our hands
I don't wanna take your love in vain
Gonna keep on coming back again

Chorus

Cm              D#                Fsus4 F
I don't want to take your love in vain
Cm            D#           Fsus4 F
Gonna keep on coming back again

Chorus
