And you are no longer a river to me 
F 
And you are no longer a river to me 
            Bbm                      F 
Though your coursing remain eager to acquaint me 
F 
And you are no longer a docile stream 
F 
And you are no longer a docile stream 
            Bbm	                   F

Bbm	                F 
And once this spark met kindling 
Forgets its gentle ambling 
Becoming heat, becoming steam 
Becoming luminescent glee 
Atoms splinter, sparkling 
Alive and nimble symmetry 
And all along, this glistening 
Blankets we and everything 
Shadows dance triumphantly 
A wordless whisper sighs and pleas 
Little deaths envelope thee 

Bbm             F 
You and I and a flame make three 
You and I and a flame make three 
You and I and a flame make three

And you are not glassy bay to me 
F 
And you are not glassy bay to me 
          Bbm                               F 
Though my tired fleet abides in your gentle breeze 
F 
And you are now vast and open sea 
F 
And my mind travels you endlessly 
          Bbm                             F 
And you beckon, toss and toss and swallow me 

Bbm                     F 
And once this spark met kindling 
Forgets its gentle ambling 
Becoming heat, becoming steam 
Becoming luminescent glee 
Atoms splinter, sparkling 
Alive and nimble symmetry 
And all along, this glistening 
Blankets we and everything 
Shadows dance triumphantly 
A wordless whisper sighs and pleas 
Little deaths envelope thee 

Bbm              F 
You and I and a flame makes three  (12x)
