[Am]Orange is the [Bm]color of my love
[Am]Fragile orange wind [D]in the garden
[Em]Fragile means that I [C]can hear her flesh
[Am]Crying little rivers [Bm]in her forearm
[Am]Fragile is that [Bm]I mourn her death
[C]As our limbs are [Em]twisting in her bedroom
[Em]Lies, lies, lies
[G]Lies in [C]her eyes
[Em]Lies, lies, lies
[G]Lies in [C]her eyes
[C]She tells me to [C/B]close and count to ten
[Am]As she wanders [Em]freely through the forest
[G]Can I close [C]and open once again?
[D]The question that [G]I seek for reassurance
[Em]Lies, lies, lies
[G]Lies in [C]her eyes
[Em]Lies, lies, lies
[G]Lies in [C]her eyes
[G]Hound dogs crowing [C]at the stars above
