^CmFrom tender years you took me for granted ^G#But still I deigned to wander through your lungs ^CmWhile you were sleeping soundly in your bed ^G#Your drapes were silver wings, your shutters flung

^FmI drew the poison from the summer's sting ^G#And eased the fire out of your fevered skin ^FmI moved in you and stirred your soul to sing ^G#And if you'd let me, I would move again

^BbI've danced 'tween sunlit strands of lover's hair ^G#Helped form the final words before your death ^BbI've pitied you and plied your sails with air ^G#Gave blessing when you rose upon my breath

^EbAnd after all of this^Bb, I am amazed,^{G# Eb}That I am cursed far ^Bbmore than I am^G# praised.
