   A                      G#
If only tonight we could sleep
      G            Cm
In a bed made of flowers
   A                      G#
If only tonight we could fall
      G         Cm
In a deathless spell

If only tonight we could slide
Into deep, black water
And breathe
And breathe

        Fm
Then an angel would come
             Cm
With burning eyes like stars
     Fm
And bury us deep
        Cm
In his velvet arms

And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end
