Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Do you remember when
you [C]walked with [D]me
Down the street into the [C]square[Em]
How the women selling [C]rosemary[D]
Pressed the branches to your [C]chest
Promised luck and all the [D]rest
Ran their fingers [C]through your hair
[Em]

[Verse 2]
I had met you just the [C]day [D]before
Like an accident of [C]fate[Em]
In the window there be[C]hind your [D]door
How I wanted to break [C]in
To that room beneath your [D]skin
But all that would have [C]to wait

[Verse 3]
In the [Em]Carmen of the Martyrs
With the [C]statues in the courtyard
Whose [F]heads and hands were taken
in the [G]burden of the sun
[Em]I had come to meet you with
a [C]question in my footsteps
I was [F]going up the hillside and
the [G]journey just begun
[Em]

[Verse 4]
My sister says she never
[C]dreams at [D]night
There are days when I know [C]why
[Em]Those possibilities with[C]in her sight[D]
With no way of coming [C]true
Cause some things just don't get [D]through
Into this world although [C]they try

[Verse 5]
In the [Em]Carmen of the Martyrs
With the [C]statues in the courtyard
Whose [F]heads and hands were taken
in the [G]burden of the sun
[Em]I had come to meet you with a
[C]question in my footsteps
[F]I was coming up the hillside
[G]and the journey just begun

[Verse 6]
An[Em]d all I [C]know of [F]you is in [G]my memory
And [Em]all I [C]ask is y[F]ou rem[G]ember me
