D G
The first of March faltered like an ache and the hours blurred together in the grey
A7 G D
She didn’t change the sheets or make the bed, just put her cheek where he once lay
D G
She curled up in the hollow where his skin left a faint trace of mint & leaf
A7 G D
Where the cotton held him captive and where she’d watch him sleep
[Chorus]
G D
Some people move thru our lives then they’re gone like the morning rain
A7 G D
Some stand with the stillness of a soldier at his post and never change
Bm G
Some dance along the water line like waves against the coast
Em G
Some forever haunt you like a ghost
[Verse]
D G
February stole more than the snow, bringing early spring to Baltimore
A7 G D
She was surprised to see him after all those years of leaving out the alley door
D G
This time would be different, he swore it with the rapture of a baptized man
A7 G D
His words undressed her loneliness with a gospel built on sand
G D
Some people move thru our lives then they’re gone like the morning rain
A7 G D
Some stand with the stillness of a soldier at his post and never change
Bm G
Some dance along the water line like waves against the coast
Em G
Some forever haunt you like a ghost
[Bridge]
D G D G G A7 G A7
Oh my love – Stay Oh my love – I can’t wait
[Chorus]
G D
Some people move thru our lives then they’re gone like the morning rain
A7 G D
Some stand with the stillness of a soldier at his post and never change
Bm G
Some dance along the water line like waves against the coast
Em G
Some forever haunt you like a ghost
