When you prey in silence
Em C G
And see our Jesus stagger
Em C G
Awake! Take a perfumed candle
Em C G
And use life like a dagger
Em Am C
I'm your accidental protégé
G C Em
The gift, the blood, the thrown away
Em C G
The silver chain has broken?
Em C G
Goals and dreams fulfill
Em C G
With emptiness with instinct
Em C G
With impurity and will
Em Am C
I'm your accidental protégé
G C Em
The grave of love, the yesterday
Em C G
In this, my year of three winters
Em C G
Where orchards fade, fade and fall
Em C G
Like the loaf of love's new bake
Em C G
Fallen, beautiful, adored?
Em Am C
I'm your accidental protégé
G C Em
The gift, the blood, the thrown away
Em C G
I thought I found a paradise
Em C G
But, paradise came and wept
Em C G
Like the wind through the, winter's woods
Em C G
It cowed and took a breath
Em Am C
I'm your accidental protégé
G C Em
The grave of love, the yesterday
