^Em He was crazy, of course >From the ^C first she must have known it But ^D still she went on ^Bm with him And she ^G never once had ^Em shown it And she took him off the street And she ^C dried his tears of grieving She ^D listened to his ^Bm visions She be ^G lieved in his be ^Em lieving

^C He was the sun burning bright and brittle And ^D she was the moon shining back his light a little ^C He was a shooting star ^Bm She was softer and more slowly He ^A could not make things possible But ^C she could make them holy, Holy ^Em

^Em He was dancing to some music No one ^C else had ever heard He'd ^D speak in unknown ^Bm languages And she would ^G translate every ^Em word And when the world was laughing At his ^C castles in the sky She'd ^D hold him in her ^Bm body Until he ^G once again could ^Em fly

She ^G gave him a daughter and she ^D gave him a son She was a ^Bm mother and a wife And a ^Em lover when the day was done He was to ^G far gone for giving love What he ^D offered in its stead Was the ^Bm knowledge she was the only thing That ^Em was not in his ^G head ^D - ^Em

^Em He took off east one morning Towards the ^C rising sun's red glow She ^D knew he was going ^Bm nowhere But of ^G course she let him ^Em go And as she stood and watched him dwindle Much too ^C empty to be sad He ^D reappeared be ^Bm side her Saying "You're ^G all I've ever ^Em had"
