a witched night

My death waits there
among the leaves
in magician's mysterious sleeves
rabbits and dogs
F
and the passing time
Bb C
My death waits there
Bb
among the flowers
Ab Cm
where the blackest shadow cowers
Ab Bb
Let's pick lilacs for the passing time
Bm A
My death waits there
Bm
in a double bed
A
sails of oblivion
Bm
at my head
A
so pull up your seats against
F#
the passing time
Gm F Eb
But whatever lies behind the door
D Gm
there is nothing much to do
F
Angel or Devil
Eb
I don't care
for in front of that door.......
there is
