[F#m] _ Howling from the heathers [Bm] in the _ [D]
gloaming [A] mire,
_ _ [Bm] Clammy [C#] and slender [D] _ path. _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] Billow-turned-birches [B] to [D] redundant _ [A] _ snipes,
_ [Bm] _ [C#] Unavowed, we stood [D] like _ icicles _ _ _
_ In the Black River. _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ [D] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] Yesterday [D] she was pulled [F#m] up from the river, _
_ _ _ _ _ Wearing a [D] silver bracelet [A] and a book of [B] stones around [F#m] her every _ night.
_ _ _ _ Holding [D] an empty canvas [F#m] to a mirror, _ _ _ _ _
I picture [D] myself [A] alongside of the girl on the [Bm] bridge the morning [F#m] of the fall. _ _ _
She [F] was staring into the hollow abyss,
Where the mist slipped [F#m] into the core
Of [A] the Black [B] River.
[F#] _ _ [A] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ [F#m] _ _ [C#] _ _ [E] The Black [D] [F#m] River.
_ [A] Silent [F] _ _ [C] _
_ [F#m] _ _ [C#] _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ _ cavalcaders [Fm] by the river,
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] [E] Hovering the [F] highland _ glass. _ _ _
_ [Am] _ Waning in the hollow [Dm] by the _ [F] _
[C] stairwell,
_ _ _ [Dm] _ [E] Everyone knows [F] shall _ _ pass. _ _
[C] Heaven to [Dm] feel,
_ [Am] How free the arms of [Dm] strangers.
_ [Am] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [F#m] Howling from the [Bm] heathers in the [D] gloaming [A] _ mire,

_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ Billow-turned [Bm]-birches to _ [D] redundant [A] _ _

[Bm] _ [C#] Unavowed, we stood [D] like _ icicles.
The Black River.

_ _ _ _ _ [F#] So, my [F#m] little child,
You want a quarter [F] than [B] this?
I see you smile,
[A] Under the frothing [F#m] abyss.
We reconcile,
[F] We're past a natural impile.
The both of [Am] us,
Let's go [D] together [Cm] and dance
Into [G#] the [A#] [D] void of time.
It stares into [F] the parcel.
_ In _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ [F#] _
the purgatory [B] trip
Through your denial,
Among the [F#] carpentries
And honey pies,
We see the home [F] that you left.
You were a child,
I was suddenly [Cm] back,
_ _ Unsuspended tender,
When the [D] morning slip into [C] your _ [A]
[C] dream.
