C     Am        G          C
oh my love is light as a dove
C            Am       G          C
her skin is fair and dark is her hair
        Am         C          G          C
and her eyes dart round and fall on the ground
        Am          C          G           F
and her lips move along to an old country song

    C                Am     G             C
oh down south you'll find among the high pines
C              Am             G            C
an old liquor store where we danced on the floor
       Am           C        G           C
oh the light on the wall it lightens the hall
        Am           C         G       F
but the room in the back is quiet and black

C               Am          G          C
what keeps me alive is the green in your eyes
C                       Am            G             C
and the sweet distance drone of your voice on the phone
        Am       C          G         C
could i hear in death your voice and breath
        Am         C         G         F
could I hear them sounds in life underground

        C           Am    G               C
oh how likely she walks among the white stalks
C               Am        G              C
and craning her neck she steps round the deck
        Am         C             G          C
could i bow in the sand to your lily white hand
        Am           C             G         F
can my head gently rests in your lily white breast
