lyrics

The Edges Of Belfast - capo 4

She was (C.) dancing on the oceanside as (G) he started the flames
He’d (C.) met her on the highway and they’d (G) learned each others names
(Am) Only time would tell him if she (Em) ever felt the same
Only (F) love – only (G) love
She (C.) whispered soft dreams to him and she (G) rose to say goodnight
(C.) Crept and found her next door tent lit (G) by the pale moonlight
She (Am) saw the future clearly there were (Em) clouds within his sight
Only (F) love – only (G) love

Chorus – (F) Desir(C.)ee – (G) set him (Am) free – from his (F) chains of (C.) dreams wrought with (G) gallan(Am)try.

The (C.) camped up north in Coolridge and they (G) camped up east in Kent
And they (C.) drank vodka in Rotterdam with (G) money saved for rent
He (Am) felt her drifting spirit as the (Em) mornings came and went
Only (F) love lonely (G) love
He (C.) told her of his mother how (G) remarkable she was
How he’d (C.) never found a woman who could (G) live life like she does
She (Am) said her father never changed she’s (Em) glad he bit the dust
Only (F) love only (G) love (Chorus)

The (C.) next morning by a campfire near a (G) mountain at Dunkirk
She (C.) mentioned she’d be drifting back to (G) Belfast for some work
In(Am)side he cried so softly but out(Em)side he kicked the dirt
Only (F) love only (G) love
So she (C.) left him cold one morning on the (G) edges of Belfast
He (C.) stared at thorny oatmeal flying (G) feelings at half mast
He (Am) wondered at the highway as (Em) she became the past
Only (F) love only (G) love (Chorus)
