Black flies on [C] the windowsill That we are, that we are, [Cm] that we are [Ab] to
know Winter's [C] stole, summer's thrilled
And [Cm] the [Ab] river's cracked and cold See, the [C] sky is no man's land
A [Ab] darkened, plumed estate Hope there [Cm] needs a humble hand
[C] [Eb] Not a [Ab] fox found in your place
[Cm] [Gm] [Ab]

[F] I know man [Bb] is an island Of this [Ab] I know
But can't you [Cm] see, oh Oh, [F] maybe you were [Bb] the ocean
When I was [Ab] just a stone
Black flies [Cm] on the windowsill That we are, that we are, that we [Ab] are to hold
Comfort [Cm] came against my will And every [Ab] story must grow old
Still I'll [Cm] be a traveler A [Ab] gypsy's rein's to face
But the [Cm] road is here Where that [Ab] fool found an earn place
[Ab] I [Cm] [Ab]
