 In the middle of her confession

 He comes over and holds her hand

 I guess he was here again

Evie's tears are never gonna dry

She comes to only when it's light

 We met in a lonely summer
Two survivors of paradise
She ran up when I first touched her
Now she wakes me every night

Evie's tears are never gonna dry
Evie's guilty tears burn this bed
She comes to only when it's light

F               G
Faithless girl, you've been dreaming
C               F               F
Staring up your face is what we fear
      G
Okay, now I'm listening
C                   F          
You're not mine and he's not here

 In the middle of Evie's garden
In a simple iron chair
Wind's blowing and she is singing
Begs the moon to disappear

Evie's guilty tears burn this bed
She comes to only when it's light

You're not mine and he's not here
