Del Water Gap - Lamplight

^CAnd lover, where'd you lose^F your patience? ^FI know you had your^C patience ^CAnd I was just ^Fa kid. ^CAnd clueless, you'd never stop t^Fo wonder ^FIf lightning strikes t^Che thunder ^COr if it's just ^Fcoincidence.

^CEvery time your father beat you down ^CYou told him, "Dad it wont be long," ^CAnd as your^F tiny body slept that night, ^FI had my lamplight burning strong.

^CAnd hated, ^CYour bedroom is a^F dark place, ^FBut you've broken all the^C doorways ^CAnd now you're stuck^F inside. ^CBut hopeful, ^CYour memory's still ar^Found though, ^FYou can see it from your^C window ^CAs it starts to pass y^Fou by.

^AmNow I'm in your car, you hold your apples in your arms. ^FYou're a friend I used to know, but you still lean against my walls. ^AmTell me beauty I won't bluff, I set my mind to worthless stuff. ^FBut I was hoping you'd have the decadence, the appetite of love. ^FBut that^C's alright, ^CYeah tha^Ft's alright.

^CEvery time your father beat you down ^CYou told him, "Dad it wont be long," ^CAnd as your^F tiny body slept that night, ^FI had my lamplight burning strong.

^CAnd when you came to me, and said, "We gotta leave" ^CAnd so we took your parents' car, ^CAnd as your^F tiny body slept that night, ^FI had my lamplight burning strong. ^CAnd when we got away, but in a couple days ^CWe crashed in Arkansas, ^CAnd as your^F tiny body slept that night ^FI had my lamplight burning strong. ^CAnd when the cop cars came and took you away ^CI knew I had to write this song, ^CAnd as your^F tiny body slept that night, ^FI had my lamplight burning strong. ^C
