  The sky was falling and streaked with blood, I heard you calling me,

Then you dissappeared into the dust,
         Bb              F
Up the stairs, into the fire,
         Bb              F
Up the stairs, into the fire,
                                                     Bb
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher,
                                   F
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire

           Bb

  You gave your love to see, in fields of red and autumn brown,

You gave your love to me and lay your young body down,

You lay your hand on me then walked into the darkness of your smoky grave,
