     D           F#m
I recall how we lived
       Am          Am7
On the corner of a bed
           C                    G
And we'd speak of a Swedish room
                D#
Of hessian and wood
          D            F#m
And we'd talk with our eyes
        Am               Am7
Of the sweetness in our lives
       C                      G
And tomorrows of rich surprise
                     D# F A
Some things we could do

Chorus:
C
In our madness we burnt one hundred days
Time takes time to pass
                            D#
And I still hold some ashes to me
      F
An occasional dream

And we'd sleep, oh so close
But not really close our eyes
Between the sheets of summer
Bathed in blue.
Gently weeping nights
It was long, long ago
And I still can't touch your name
For the days of fate
Were strong for you.
Danced you far from me

Chorus:
C
In my madness I see your face in mine
I keep a photograph, it burns my wall with time
D#         F
Time an occasional dream
   D#         F
Of mine an occasional dream
   G#         A#        A       Dm C G A# A7
Of mine an occasional dream of mine
