Ivory

Dm C It was a long and silent cry Am D She spoke before she died BbM7 C I never true knew why A D I even tried Dm C Then just ivory lips she left Am D To speak the words of the dead BbM7 C A D And this was what she said, fast losing sight Bb C7 When the heart does cease to beat F How long must the mind survive? Bb C7 For only seconds split F Until the night Gm C7 Or do agony hours ensue F To follow the light inside of you Gm C7 Until it’s sudden through F A Into the blue Dm C It was a long and drawn-out sigh Am D I breathed before I died BbM7 C I never true knew why A D She even tried Bb C FM7 F Bb C F Gm C F Gm C7 F Em7b5 Dm C Then just empty eyes I left Am D To see the world of the dead BbM7 C A D As quietly she fled, out of my sight
