D                                                          G
The first of March faltered like an ache and the hours blurred together in the grey
     A7                                                                G        D
She didn’t change the sheets or make the bed, just put her cheek where he once lay
      D                                                           G
She curled up in the hollow where his skin left a faint trace of mint & leaf
           A7                                       G        D
Where the cotton held him captive and where she’d watch him sleep

[Chorus]
      G                                                       D
Some people move thru our lives then they’re gone like the morning rain
        A7                                                  G     D
Some stand with the stillness of a soldier at his post and never change
       Bm                                               G
Some dance along the water line like waves against the coast
        Em                      G
Some forever haunt you like a ghost

[Verse]
 D                                                            G
February stole more than the snow, bringing early spring to Baltimore
    A7                                                                 G     D
She was surprised to see him after all those years of leaving out the alley door
      D                                                         G
This time would be different, he swore it with the rapture of a baptized man
          A7                                      G        D
His words undressed her loneliness with a gospel built on sand
      G                                                     D
Some people move thru our lives then they’re gone like the morning rain
       A7                                                   G    D
Some stand with the stillness of a soldier at his post and never change
       Bm                                               G
Some dance along the water line like waves against the coast
        Em                      G
Some forever haunt you like a ghost

[Bridge]
D  G   D  G     G            A7                 G                    A7
               Oh my love – Stay                Oh my love – I can’t wait

[Chorus]
      G                                                     D
Some people move thru our lives then they’re gone like the morning rain
      A7                                                    G     D
Some stand with the stillness of a soldier at his post and never change
     Bm                                                  G
Some dance along the water line like waves against the coast
        Em                      G
Some forever haunt you like a ghost
