[Intro]
E E A B x 2
I have a lEetter, familiar paper.
I keep a figuArine in a lockBet
It's dedEicated, engraved initials.
Yellow photogAraph in a pockBetbook
[Chorus]
Well the rAim of her mouth was goBlden,
But her eEyes were just desertA sands. A
But that's not her. E B A
That's just the light.E B A
It's only an imaEge of her it's.
BJust a trick of the lightE.
She sent me lEetters, gave me directions
Name of the stAreet where I should tBurn.
Then she stEood out front wrapped in her bath towel
Yeah oAnce you leave boy you caBn't return
[Chorus]
The rAim of her mouth was golBden,
Her eyes wEere just desertA sands. A
But that's not her. E B A
That's just the light.E B A
It's only an imEage of her. it's
BJust a trick of the lightE.

See I wasG#m7 beating on her like an aEnvil.
ABeating her out of originBal shape.
With G#m7that same old panic, caEught on her face
I cAopied the image of the anBcient embrace.
oh oh oh oh
ENow you remind me very much
A/E Of someone that I B/Euse to know
EWe use to take turns in crying all night
A/EOh but that was soB/E long ago

Now the Arim of her mouth was gBolden,
But her eEyes were just desertA sands. A
But that's not her. E B A
That's just the lightE. B A
It's only an imEage of her it's.
BJust a trick of the lightE.
No No No No No
That's not her. E B A
That's just the light.E B A
It's only an imEage of her it's.
BJust a trick of the lightE.
