Em
He was crazy, of course
C
>From the first she must have known it
D Bm
But still she went on with him
G Em
And she never once had shown it
C
And she dried his tears of grieving
D Bm
She listened to his visions
G Em
She be lieved in his be lieving
C
He was the sun burning bright and brittle
D
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
C
He was a shooting star
Bm
She was softer and more slowly
A
He could not make things possible
C Em
But she could make them holy, Holy
Em
He was dancing to some music
C
No one else had ever heard
D Bm
He'd speak in unknown languages
G Em
And she would translate every word
C
At his castles in the sky
D Bm
She'd hold him in her body
G Em
Until he once again could fly
C
He was the sun burning bright and brittle
D
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
C
He was a shooting star
Bm
She was softer and more slowly
A
He could not make things possible
C Em
But she could make them holy, Holy
G D
She gave him a daughter and she gave him a son
Bm
She was a mother and a wife
Em
And a lover when the day was done
G
He was to far gone for giving love
D
What he offered in its stead
Bm
Was the knowledge she was the only thing
Em G D Em
That was not in his head -
Em
He took off east one morning
C
Towards the rising sun's red glow
D Bm
She knew he was going nowhere
G Em
But of course she let him go
C
Much too empty to be sad
D Bm
He reappeared be side her
G Em
Saying "You're all I've ever had"
