Such A Small Love
(Engel)
Verse 1
G
Mist falls and his voice cracks from the morning
Flowers and my body feels like lead
Bb C G Em
Someone should have stopped the birds from singing today
F Eb
Hammers from striking nails into clay
G
Her face penetrates the blue gray morning
Her eyes pregnant pools produce a tear
Bb C G Em
Someone should have shouted you had gone in her ear
F Eb
That summer was stolen away
Chorus
G C F G Em
Such a small love, such a little tear
F Dm7 G
You would laugh so loud if you could see us here
C F G
With my one suit badly pressed and worn
F Dm7 Eb
Like a child left in the world alone
Verse 2
G
He speaks I don't hear a word he's saying
Hang on to the pine trees and the snow
Bb C G Em
Reach out grab the memories that are left for your hand
F Eb
They'll help you get by for a while
Chorus 2
G C F G Em
Such a small love, such a little tear
F Dm7 G
Is this all that's left on your cheek so pale?
C F G Em
His shallow half lit eyes, his rotted teeth groan on
F Dm7 G
Our drunken madmen nights ending up in jail
C F G Em
Midnight mornings drenched in Dago red*
F Dm7 G
Words collided, things we left unsaid
C F G Em
Perfumed pillows, girls that clung so near
F G
Such a small love, such a little tear

* 'Dago red' is a rough red wine
