Blanco White - The lily

I left a s^Fign with a candle ^C In the ^Amstreetlight that ^Dmshone below Where through the ^Fnight The people dance ^Cin linen and ^Dmsmoke I ^Bbstill remember her ^Csong in my ^Dmhead Each ^Ampalm in time Every ^Bbface in that light As their ^Cmouths ^Dmbellowed

Now they tell me she's just vanished ^F Some other plac^Ce by the ^Amsea ^Dm But to me she was banished ^F By hersel^Cf not by ^Amme ^Dm And though I ^Bbstill remember The ^Cstreetlights are ^Dmlow Now ^Amdull in the night And the ^Bbdance has gone quiet But the ^Csea still ^Dmbellows

See the ^Fisland on ^Dmfire ^Bb And the ^Ctowe^Dmrs ali^Bbgn; Built in ^Csilos of ^Dmsea ^Bb Undern^Ceath ev^Dmery stre^Bbet Lily ^Cspoke of a ^Dmcity's ^Bbbones An ancient ^Crubble of ^Dmtime and ^Bbstone ^Dm Where the ^Bbwalls tremor under the sky ^Am Covered ^Bbday after day by the tide ^Am Could I ^Bbsave them if I tried? ^CIf only I ^Dmcould

We shine our ^Clight across the ^Dmocean A Troy this city has ^Gmburned We shine our ^Clight across the ^Dmocean A fire on ships will ^Gmreturn We shine our ^Clight ^{Dm Gm} We shine our ^Clight ^{Dm Gm} We shine our ^Clight ^{Dm Gm}
