What is it in nature
G A Bm
Which lends its hand
Bm A G D/F#
To the tongues of young wondering lovers in flight
Em D/F# G
That by the silent boot
G A Bm
Of a dying word
Bm A G D/F#
A scythe was taught to moan and to write
Em D/F# G
What is it that is left
G A Bm
For the blushing cheek

To blink the lips of a blooming rose
Em D/F# G
Where lover's eyes as black
G A Bm
As Summer crows
Bm A G
Picked the blackened rose that they seek

What has not been taken by a lovers' greed?

What then from
G A Bm
All the vine and seed

On the fragrant air of Spring they feed

They come in swarms of two

Like me and you
Bm A G
Fattened by the love that they need
D Csus4 Em G
What has not been taken by a lovers' greed?
D Csus4 Em G
What has not been taken by a lovers' greed?

On and on they come

Forever saying I will die without you
D A
In the chasm of these eyes

Nothing satisfies staring into the starry-eyed infinite

Can't get enough of it
A/G A
Can't get enough
A/G A
Can't get enough of it
A/G
Can't get enough

What is it then

My pen should stall

When by your wondrous eyes I shake

When we, this world is ours to take
