Verse 1:
Am
There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved
Am                                                    Am
Never I'd have life enough, my heart is screamin' out
Am
And in a few days I would be there, love
Am                                                  F
Ever here that's left in me is yours just as it was

Chorus:
F          G    Em
Just as it was, baby
           Am        C    Dm   F
Before the otherness came
                     G    Em
And I knew its name
                        Em         Dm
The love, the dark, the light, the flame

Verse 2:
Am                        G
Eyes at the heights of my baby
      C                       Dm
Let's hope at the fight of my baby
      F                         Am
The lights were as bright as my baby
F                    Am    Am
But your love was unmoved

Bridge:
Am
And tell me if somehow some of it remained
Am
How long you would wait for me?
Am                       Am
How long I've been away
Am
The shape that I'm in now, you're shaping the doorway
Am
Make your good love known to me
Am                           F
Just tell me about your day

Chorus:
F          G    Em
Just as it was, baby
           Am        C    Dm   F
Before the otherness came
                     G    Em
And I knew its name
                        Em         Dm
The love, the dark, the light, the flame

Outro:
Am                        G
Eyes at the heights of my baby
      C                       Dm
Let's hope at the fight of my baby
      F                         Am
The lights were as bright as my baby
F                    Am
But your love was unmoved
        Am                         G
And the sights were as stark as my baby
        C                       Dm
And the cold cut as sharp as my baby
        F                         Am
And the nights were as dark as my baby
F                 Am
Half as beautiful too
