Reach a hand to the crescent moon grab hold of the hollow
G                                    Bm
If she sits in the palm of the left that moon will be fuller tomorrow
   Bm                                     A
If she sits in the palm of the right that moon is on the wan

But I think once your body feels my hand

You're mind will change and your heart will lose its pain

VERSE:

Bm                           A 
Out among the fields gently hipped beneath the corn
G   
Assiniboine bones beneath the highway 
   Bm 
He stood there and thought of home 
  Bm
A finger traces the path of a satellite 
       A
you're drawn to a distant copse of trees
  G                 F#m             Em                 Bm
a voice as sweet as mares tail clings to the prairie breeze.


Em                  Bm                  F#m                 
Won't you come with me she said there's plenty of room 
           Bm
In my iron bed
           A                      Em                 Bm         
You're looking cold and tired and more than a little human.

I know I'm not part of the life you had planned 
      F#m                   Bm
But I think once your body feels my hand
        D                         A                  G    Em F#m Bm
You're mind will change and your heart will lose its pain



CHORUS:
A                         G 
Do I reach for you when I know you're on the wane
A                     G 
Do I sense you when I know you're not around
D                          A
Do I search for you when I know you can't be found
A                       G     Em  F#m  Bm
Do I dare to speak your name

VERSE:

Raise your eyes to a moonless sky 
and try to wish upon a rising star
search all you want for her blessing 
but you won't find her sparkling there
Now cast your eyes to a part of the sky 
where nothing but darkness unfolds
and watch as all around you
she reveals the brilliance of secrets untold

                 
Won't you come with me she said there's plenty of room  in my iron bed
You're looking cold and tired and more than a little human.
I know I'm not part of the life you had planned 
But I think once your body feels my hand
You're mind will change and your heart will lose its pain


CHORUS:
A                         G 
Do I reach for you when I know you're on the wane
A                     G 
Do I sense you when I know you're not around
D                          A
Do I search for you when I know you can't be found
A                       G     Em  F#m  Bm
Do I dare to speak your name
