The textbook's on the table, the radio's on the shelf
B F#
And thank you for the offer, but I'll sing this one myself

I climbed and climbed for hours, but oh my what a fuse

B E F#
I'm surprised you didn't come forward when the cops dragged me away
B F#
There's a museum in the Netherlands, I hope to see again some day

There's a painting of a woman, gathering wood it's almost dark

In a world bereft of meaning, there's a flicker in the hearth

I will always stand beside you
F#
Defend you and mend you, sanctify you

And, follow you down love, I'm right behind you
