House Above the Strand

Will you come and live here with me,
In my house above the strand?
I'll have pomegranates ready
So they ripen in your hand

Will you be the sun in winter
And a cool breeze when it's warm
Will you light my footsteps homeward
When I get lost in the storm.

Will you set my life to music
Will you make my tunes come true
I will dance away the mornings
If I spend the nights with you.

     Mm, will you marry me?
     Mm, and be my song?

Will you come and live here with me,
In my house above the strand
It's been silent all this winter
And the garden's turned to sand.

It's a sad place when it's empty,
It gets lonely just like me
And it needs you, and I need you
To be all that I can be.

Let me fold the song around us,
That I only sing for you.
I will lay you down in music
That will be forever new.

     Mm, will you marry me?
     Mm, and be my song?

Music

Lots of resolved Sus2s here - as in most of Ackles' love songs (see Love's Enough for another example); on guitar, play around with the open high E string. The bass does mostly descending runs between chords.
