[Ab] Black [C] flies on the windowsill That we are, that we are, [Cm] that we [Ab] are 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
[Bb] A [Ab] darkened, plumed estate Hope here [Cm] needs a humble hand
[C] [Cm] Not a [Ab] fox found in your place [Cm] [C] [Ab]

[F] No 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
know Comfort [Cm] came against my will
Every [Ab] story must grow old Still I'll [Cm] be a traveler
A [Ab] gypsy's reins to face But the [Cm] road is here
With that [Ab] fool found in your place
