CFC
There was a boy, a bitter boy,
AmG
Who's golden heart I saw gleaming,
CFC
I thought I'd win the heart within,
AmGC
But now I know that I was dreaming.
CFC
But I will rise, and I will sing,
AmG
Until the day I can't conceal it,
CFC
Because I hold the saddest song,
GFC
And I wish to God I cannot feel it.
CFC
Then the boy, the bitter boy,
AmG
He came to me for rest and healing,
CFC
He reached in his chest, deep in his breast,
AmGC
Held out the heart for me still gleaming.
CFC
But I will rise, and I will sing,
AmG
Until the day I can't conceal it,
CFC
Because I hold the saddest song,
GFC
And I wish to God I cannot feel it.
CFC
Then the boy, me and the boy,
AmG
We walked for miles through stormy weather,
CFC
Hand in hand, we roamed the land,
AmGC
And held the gleaming heart together.
CFC
But I will rise, and I will sing,
AmG
Until the day I can't conceal it,
CFC
Because I hold the saddest song,
GFC
And I wish to God I cannot feel it.
CFC
Then the boy, the bitter boy,
AmG
He came to take the gleaming treasure,
CFC
He reached in my chest, deep in my breast,
AmGC
And took the gleaming heart forever.
CFC
But I will rise, and I will sing,
AmG
Until the day I can't conceal it,
CFC
Because I hold the saddest song,
GFC
And I wish to God I cannot feel it.
