Am C G Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed D Am Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams Am C G In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed D Am To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams Am I and I G D Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives Am I and I G D Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives Am C G Think I'll go out and go for a walk D Am Not much happenin' here, nothin' ever does Am C G Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll just want me to talk D Am I got nothin' to say, 'specially about whatever was Am I and I G D Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives Am I and I G D Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives Am C G Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race D Am It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth Am C G Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face D Am And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth Am I and I G D Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives Am I and I G D Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives Am C G Outside of two men on a train platform there's nobody in sight D Am They're waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track Am C G The world could come to an end tonight, but that's all right D Am She should still be there sleepin' when I get back Am I and I G D Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives Am I and I G D Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives Am C G Noontime, and I'm still pushin' myself along the road, the darkest part D Am Into the narrow lanes, I can't stumble or stay put Am C G Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart D Am I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot Am I and I G D Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives Am I and I G D Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
