Intro: D G A
Verse:
DCome the evening of my days
The dark birds in the tGrees and in her gAarden
DI think I'll be there somewhere too
The yarrow by my Ghead where I have faAllen
And she will lick her thinner thumb
And ringless finger too and douse a candle
And though she never gave a thing
The way she said my name, we'll be together
Chorus:
GWhen autumn coAmes, she'll be tGhere
Jasmine stAill in her haGir
Her tea leaves dAry by the sDea
Verse:
Many men behind her door
Have heard the bathtub run and longed to love her
And though she doesn't wait for me
We never ask the time when we're together
