Standard (EADGBE)
Come the evening of my day, dark birds in the trees
and in her garden
Though I'll be there somewhere too, the yarrow by my head
where I have fallen
She will lick her thinner thumb, and ringless finger too
and douse a candle
Though she never gave a thing, the way she says my name
We'll be together
When autumn comes, we'll be there, jasmine still in her hair
Her tea leaves dry by the sea
Many men behind her door have heard the bathtub run
and longed to love her
Though she never waits for me, we never ask the time
when we're together
When autumn comes, she'll be there, jasmine still in her hair
her tea leaves dry by the sea
