(riff 1) Dm Am
Mother I can hear your your footfall now
Dm Am
soft disturbance in the deadfall how
Dm Am
it precedes you like a black smoke pall
Bb
still the wanting comes in waves
(riff 1) Dm Am
You delivered me from danger then
Dm Am
pulled my cradle from the reedy glen
Dm Am
swore to save me from the world of men
Bb
still the wanting comes in waves
Bb/B
In waves
F
And waves
Am Bb
ooooh oooooh oooooh
F
and the wanting comes in waves
Am Bb
ooooh oooooh oooooh
F
and the wanting comes in waves
Am Bb
ooooh oooooh oooooh
Gm
and I want this night
Bbm
and I want this night, ah, oh
