Intro: F.. ...|... ...|Bb.. ...|... ...| (x2) F Bb The light came through the window F Bb Straight from the sun above Gm C And so inside my little room Gm C F There plunged the rays of love In streams of light I clearly saw The dust you seldom see Out of which the Nameless makes A Name for one like me
Bb C I'll try to say a little more: F Bb Love went on and on Gm A Until it reached an open door Bb Then Love Itself C F Love Itself was gone
All busy in the sunlight The flecks did float and dance And I was tumbled up with them In formless circumstance
I'll try to say a little more: Love went on and on Until it reached an open door Then Love Itself Love Itself was gone
Bb C Then I came back from where I'd been Dm My room, it looked the same Gsus4 G But there was nothing left between Csus4 C F The Nameless and the Name (and the Name)
All busy in the sunlight The flecks did float and dance And I was tumbled up with them In formless circumstance
I'll try to say a little more: Oh love went on and on Until it reached an open door Then Love Itself Love Itself was gone Love Itself Love Itself was gone
