  I pulled out with the mountain laurel blooming
  On a turn of road that was soon to be paved
  Down to the site of my original establishment
  And the west   end   family          grave

Chorus: 
      B       F#         G#m          E 
Cause one day moves into two, And I'm losing
Everything except for you
And I would sing you a song of devotion
Yeah that's what I should do

Blood runs thick and when it rains it pours down
On the family tree or the fields of war
I spend my time being broken hearted and grieving bound
Yeah, I haven't much need to look forward 

I just let one day move into two, I'm losing
Everything except for you
I would sing you a song of devotion  (to Bridge)

Bridge:

        Book of days,   The way things lay,   That's just space and time
        I gave it up,        All for a love,   That won't be defined               

I've had enough temporary acquisition
Building fences for no gain
Taking dead trees down before the winter freeze, I said 
Let 'em rot and fall where they may 

Just let one day move into two, I'm losing
Everything except for you
I would sing you a song of devotion
That's what I should do    (begin outro: chorus chords)
     (I gotta let them fall where they may, cause…)

It's the book of days It's the way things lay  Now that's just space and time
(…one day moves into two I'm losing         Everything except for you.  I…)

           I gave it up   All for your love  That's what I should do
(…I would sing you a song of devotion, yeah, That's what I should do)

B         F#                             G#m               E
          That's what I should do
B         F#                     (to intro, end G#m)
          That's what I should do
