Am               G       Am              G 
It was late last night, when i woke up screaming

I dreamt that I lay dead apon the floor. 

Am            G     Am              G 
My blood ran cold, and my hand were trembling 

Am          G      Em            F 
I felt that I had gone to another world. 



C     G     F 
Cover me in roses

Cover me from the pouring rain

Turn my bones to ashes

I won't feel the pain.

I can feel your hand in the darkness

Reaching out for me. 

Am            G      Am         G 
As the candle burns, sing your lullaby

We'll make it one day to heaven

So dry your crying eyes.
