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

[Eb] [Ab]
[C] Oh, no man is [Bb] an island Or at least I know
But can't you [C] see, oh, oh, maybe you [Bb] were the ocean
When I was [Ab] just a stone [Eb] Black [Cm] flies on the windowsill
That we are, that we are, that we are [F] to hold Comfort [Cm] came against my will
And every [Eb] story must grow old Still I'll [Cm] be a traveler
Oh, [F] gypsies lines to face But the road is [Cm] easier
With that fool [F] found in your place

When I was just a stone
I don't want to [Eb] beg your pardon [Ab] And I don't want to [Cm] ask you why, no
But if I was to [Ab] go my own way Would I have to [Cm] pass you by, no
No, I don't want to [F] beg your pardon [Ab] And I don't want [Cm] to ask you why, no
But if I was [Eb] to go my own way Would I [Ab] have to [Cm] pass you by
