Gm             Cm
Yes my love, I confess to you
 Gm                         Cm
I am only here to break your heart in two
 Gm                  Cm
The very flower you chose that day
  Gm              Cm
Its only task was to decay
   Cm7
You see?

 Gm                  Cm
When I watched your first bathing
Gm                     Cm
I only warned you with a lowered voice
  Gm               Cm
Be wary of my river's undertow
   Gm                    Cm
It flows with water from the coldest source
      Cm7
Did you hear?

( Gm  Cm  Gm )

F
And then I made sure
F               Cm
You would always return
F
You still know of dawn
F                Cm
But you always return

Gm                 Cm
When you hid under my black wings
Gm                                Cm
They couldn't have protected you from anything
Gm                        Cm
Once in flight they would have let go
Gm                             Cm
You would have once again wound up below
   Cm7
Only broken

Gm                             Cm
Indeed, it's wrong to keep you near me
Gm                            Cm
One could call me cruel and deceiving
Gm                          Cm
But in your sacred air I am full of light
Gm                       Cm
Your loving arms are the true delight
        Cm7
To which I'm lost

F
And you've noticed it
F                        Cm
There is something right here
F                                      F
You have come to love, yes you've come to love
                 Cm
What you always will fear

Gm                      Cm
Yes, my love, I confess to you
Gm
I've nothing but the means
            Cm
To break your heart in two
Gm                       Cm      
My part in yours may seem important now
Gm                              Cm
But with every spring it will seem so small
Gm           Cm
Just for now I am your fall
Gm
I am your fall
Cm
I am your fall
