Verse One

G#                 CmBlack flies on the windowsill

That we are

That we are
               G#That we are to know
             CmWinter stole summer's thrill
                     G#And the river's cracked and cold

G#             CmSee the sky is no man's land
           G#A darkened plume to stay
                  CmHope here needs a humble hand
          G#Not a fox found in your place

That we are

That we are     
               G#That we are to hold
               CmComfort came against my will
                G#And every story must grow old

                CmStill I'll be a traveller
           G#A gypsy's reins to face
                CmBut the road is wearier
               G#With that fool found in your place
