Maybe Laura's most beautiful song..

CAPO: 7th fret

Intro:       

      
The tiny midnight caravan
          
Made its way across the black hills
         
As I watched from a distance
       
The slow-going glow
         
Their wandering you know
          
Made me pine
          
For the lamplight
           
Where you lie
           
Where you lie

  
If I took you darling
         
To the caverns of my heart
              
Would you light the lamp dear?
               
Would you light the lamp dear?
          
And see fish without eyes

Bats with their heads
          
Hanging down towards the ground
            
Would you still come around?
         
Come around?

(Solo on the same chords)


I believe in you
          
In your honesty and your eyes

Even when I’m sloshing
           
In the muck of my demise
    
A large part of me
    
Is always and forever tied
             
To the lamplight
        
Of your eyes
         
Of your eyes
