CF
Dead to the world my body was sleeping’
CF
On my mind was nothin’ at all
CF
Come a mist, an air so appealing
CFCF
I’m here a whisperin', you summoned, I called
[Verse 2]
CF
I formed me a presence whose aspect was changing’
CF
Oh, he would shift, he would not shift at all
CF
We sat for a while, he was very engaging’
CFCF
And when he was gone, I was gone on a smile
[Chorus]
Dm
With a strange way of walking’
F
And a strange way of breathing’
DmF
More lives than a cat that led me astray
DmF
All in all, he captured my heart
CDmFC
Dead to the world and I just slipped away
[Verse 3]
CF
I heard me a music that drew me to dancing’
CF
Lo, I turned under his spell
CF
I opened my coat but he never came closer
CFCF
I bolted the door and whispered, oh well
[Chorus]
Dm
With a strange way of walking’
F
And a strange way of breathing’
DmF
More lives than a cat that led me astray
DmF
All in all, he captured my heart
CDmFC
Dead to the world and just slipped away
[Instrumental]
C F x 5
[Verse 4]
CF
I laid in the rushes, the air was upon me
CF
Wondering’, well, I just couldn't discern
CF
Will he come back, come back to me?
CFCF
Oh, I whispered will you ever return?
[Verse 5]
CF
I was feeling’ sensations in no dictionary
CF
He was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
CF
The life in his fingers unwound my existence
CFCF
Dead to the world alive I awoke
[Chorus]
Dm
With a strange way of walking’
F
And a strange way of breathing’
DmF
Less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
DmF
The life in his fingers unwound my existence
CDmFC
Dead to the world alive I awoke
[Outro]
