Let me stay with you a while and tell old, old stories 
        G             D                 G   Gadd11 
Of your oft' electric laughter and your charms 
        G                                           C/G 
How you came out of Montana with a wolf pup at your heels 
      G                 D               G   Gadd11 
And a snow white rabbit huddled in your arms

Remember, hey, those Gold Rush days, how the gold dust in the mud 
      G               D               G 
From Main St. leading all the way to Alder 
     G                                              C/G 
With sunset turned the color of a lover's throat at blush 
         G                     D               G   Gadd11 
And with moonrise, blazed some new and silver river

The minister was bloodless and the preachers were on fire 
      G                 D              G 
And Mahatmas sang their love songs in nasturtiums 
       G                                               C/G 
But if he, or they, or any of their masters called my name 
     G              D                 G 
I was in your holy temple and never heard them

Remember, hey, those Gold Rush days, some Last Chance Gulch saloon 
 G               D              G 
You, and I, and all the miners watching 
    G                                             C/G 
As shadows danced across a screen as quiet as the moon 
        G               D             G 
Without sound, their fury signifying all things

The whole town was alive that night as we floated down the street 
      G                     D              G 
Through fist fights, cowboy poets, parlor women 
       G                                                    C/G 
And the light from the projector seemed to glow within your soul 
        G             D                G 
Like an opal throated songbird in its prism 

 
       C/G 
In the darkness 
       G 
In the darkness 
       C/G 
In the darkness

They're tearing down the movies now, not a stone upon a stone 
     G              D            G 
All dust is dust no matter how celestial 
    G                                           C/G 
But I, who tasted hornet juice and honey on the rose 
     G               D              G 
What use have I for all their cold memorials?

Still every now and then sometimes when the night sky gets so bright 
       G             D                    G 
And no Bethlehem of stars could match its burning 
   G                                                C/G 
I Go out into the fields until I can feel you by my side 
        G          D                   G 
And my memory is a book of gold thrown open 


Bridge 
               C/G 
How you rode a white horse 
                 G 
The queen of the harvest kissed your cheek 
                  C/G 
The boys all took one look 
                    G 
And found that they could no longer speak

In the darkness 
       G
