Verse 1:
MIb SIb
It's not that I'm so cheerful
Fm Cm [3: hold Cm extra bar]
Though I'll always raise a smile
MIb SIb
If at times my nonsense rhymes
Fm Cm [3: hold Cm extra bar]
Then I'll stand trial
MIb SIb
My friends are all around me
DOm
But they only breathe through fear
MIb
Were I to cry I'm sure that still
SOL#/SIb SIb
They'd never see a tear
Chorus
MIdim FAm
In darkness through my being here
LAdim SIbm
Away from you
REdim MIbm MIb7
The bright light of your star confronts me
(Abm)
Shining through

Verse 2:
Dullen, sullen, much subdued
My skull a stony glaze
Whirlpools rage on constantly
I'm not so well these days
There must be something somewhere near
Who sees what's being done
The harbor lights are burning bright
My wax is almost run
[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:
Come Lollard, raise your lute and sing
Unto my ears a beauty bring
Like Maddox in the days of old
We'll feast and drink until we fold
And folding still we'll spare a thought
For what's been lost and what's been caught
And maybe then begin again
For love is life, not poison
[repeat chorus]
