[Verse 1]
     A         D     A
All summer long she touched me
E A             D      A
   She gathered in my soul
D                                A
From many a thorn, from many a thicket
     E     D         C#m  Bm
Her fingers, like a weaver's
           A
Quick and cool

[Chorus]

And the light came from her body
        F#m                     C#m
And the night went through her grace
D                    A
All summer long she touched me
        E     D    C#m    Bm
And I knew her, I knew her
         A
Face to face

[Chorus]
         C#m      F#m      C#m
And her dress was blue and silver
        F#m                 C#m
And her words were few and small
D                          A
She is the vessel of the whole wide world
 E      D C#m Bm  E
Mistress,     oh mistress,
       A
of us all

      A  D           A
Dear lady, Queen of Solitude
E A              D       A
    I thank you with my heart
D                   A
for keeping me so close to thee
          E    D     C#m Bm
while so many, oh so many,
        A
stood apart
