[Dm]
[Gm] [C]
[F]
That cold north wind they call lobbies [A] is swirling round about my knees
[Dm] Trees are [Gm] crying leaves into [C] the river
[F] I'm huddled in this French cafe.
[A] I never thought I'd see the day
[Dm] Winters [Gm] here and summer [C] really over
[Bb] even the birds
They're packed up [C] and gone
They're [F] flying south with their [Bb] song
And [F] my love
She too [Bb] has gone
She had [C] to fly
Take care, it's such [F] a lonely sky
[Dm] They'll trap your wings my [Gm] love and hold
[C] They'll build a cage and [F] steal your heart
in your lonely sky
[Dm] Fly away, fly to me, fly [Gm] when the wind is high
[C] I'm staying in the sky
You in [F] your lonely sky
[Dm]
[Gm] [C]
[F]
The old cathedral lights are [A] low
She and I we'd often go [Dm] there to [Gm] admire sometimes [C] Kneeling prayer
[F] Lords and ladies lying [A] stow
Hand in hand for a while
[Dm] Even the choir rehearses those songs
Though their hands are cold
Their [C] love forever
Even [Bb] the choir rehearses those [C]
songs
[F] For Christmas is [Bb] not long
I [F] will know
She had [Bb]
[C] to fly
Out there, it's such a [F] lonely sky
[Dm] They'll trap your wings my [Gm] love and hold
[C] They'll build a cage and steal [F] your heart
in your lonely sky
[Dm] Fly away, fly to me, fly [Gm] when the wind is high
[C] I'm staying in the sky
You in your [F] lonely sky
[Dm] Fly away, fly to me, [Gm] fly when the wind is high
I'm [D] staying [C] in the sky
You [F] in your lonely sky
[Dm] [F]
[Dm] [Gm] Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
I'm [D] staying in the sky
You in your [F] lonely [Dm] [F]
[Bb] sky
I'm [D] staying in the
[F] [E] [Dm] [F]
[Gm] [C] [D] sky
