I came by my-self to a very crowded place; G G7 F C
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face. G G7 F C
I found her there but she was past all concern; C7 F
I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me," C F Dm
But she scorned me and she told me C F
I was dead and I could never return. G G7 C

Well, I argued all night like so many have before,
Saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
She said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,
Just win me or lose me,
It is this that the darkness is for."

I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
"If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,
I could hear my lady calling,

"You've won me, you've won me, my lord, F G G7 C
You've won me, you've won me, my lord, G G7 C
Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord, G G7 C
Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord, G G7 C
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord." G G7 C
