[Verse 1]
F True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
F Willow dancin' on air before covering me
Bb Under cotton and calicos
Bb Over canopy dapple long ago
F
F True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
F That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Bb Must be felled for to fight the cold
Bb I fretted fire, but that was long ago
F F
[Chorus]
F But that's not tonight Dm(Oh,Bb oh)
F Where I'm set alight Dm(Oh,Bb oh)
FAnd I blink in sight Dm(Oh, Coh)
BbOf your blinding light (Oh, oh)
FOh, that's not tonightDm (OhBb, oh)
FWhere you hold me tighDmt (OBbh, oh)
FAll the fire bright (DmOh, oCh)
BbOh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
FOh, hope that you're Bbgood to me,F oh, you're Bbgood to me (Oh, oh)
FHope that you're Bbgood to me, babyF (Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
F With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
F Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
Bb Settle soft and as pure as snow
Bb I Fell in love with the fire long ago
F With each love I cut lose, I was never the same
F Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame
Bb I was fixed on your hand of gold
Bb Laying waste to my lovin' long ago
F F

F So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
F Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
Bb Long as amber of ember glows
Bb All the "would that I loved" is long ago
