Lyrics

[Intro]
| F | - | Bb | - |

[Verse 1]
F
 True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
A willow dancing on air before covering me
Bb
  Under cotton and calicoes
                          F
Over canopy dappled long ago
True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Bb
  Must be felled for to fight the cold
                                F
Fretted fire but that was long ago

[Chorus]
F                Dm Bb F                    Dm Bb
 It's not tonight       Where I'm set alight
F                    Dm C
 And I blink in sight
Bb
  Of your blinding light
F
Oh,
                Dm Bb
it's not tonight
F                       Dm Bb
 Where you hold me tight
F                   Dm C Bb
 And the fire bright     Oh,
let it blaze alright
F              Bb         F
Oh, but you're good to me,
           Bb
Oh, you're good to me
F              Bb          F   Bb
Oh, but you're good to me, baby

[Verse 2]
F
 With the roar of the fire,
my heart rose to its feet
Like the ashes of ash,
I saw rise in the heat
Bb
  Settled soft and as pure as snow
                                   F
I fell in love with the fire long ago
With each love I cut loose,
I was never the same
Watching stillliving roots be consumed by the flame
Bb
  I was fixed on your hand of gold
                                F
Laying waste to my loving long ago

[Chorus]
F                Dm Bb F                    Dm Bb
 It's not tonight       Where I'm set alight
F                    Dm C
 And I blink in sight
Bb
  Of your blinding light
F
Oh,
                Dm Bb
it's not tonight
F                       Dm Bb
 Where you hold me tight
F                   Dm C Bb
 And the fire bright     Oh,
let it blaze alright
F              Bb         F
Oh, but you're good to me,
           Bb
Oh, you're good to me
F              Bb          Dm  Bb
Oh, but you're good to me, baby

[Interlude]
                    | Dm - Gm Bb |

[Verse 3]
F
 So in awe,
there I stood as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood,
I still worship the flame
Bb
  As long as amber of ember glows
                                        F
All the "would" that I'd loved is long ago

[Chorus]
F                Dm Bb F                    Dm Bb
 It's not tonight       Where I'm set alight
F                    Dm C
 And I blink in sight
Bb
  Of your blinding light
F                Dm Bb
 It's not tonight
F                       Dm Bb
 Where you hold me tight
F                   Dm C Bb
 And the fire bright     Oh,
let it blaze alright

[Outro]
F          Bb         F
Oh, you're good to me,
           Bb
Oh, you're good to me
F              Bb         F
Oh, but you're good to me,
        Bb
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
F           Bb     F           Bb
 You're good  to me You're good
to me
F              Bb          F
Oh, but you're good to me, baby
