[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ [Bb] _ Well, [F] she never wanted [Eb] to fly [Bb] high, [Eb] she was too fond of [Bb] walking. _
_ [F] [Gm] Then you [Eb] said you'd [Bb] reach the sky, [Eb] she thought it was a way [Bb] of talking.
_ [F] Then [Eb] you said [Bb] you'd build some wings, you'd found out how it [G] could be done.
[Eb] But she was sceptical of [Bb] everything.
_ [Eb]
She [Gm] never thought that you'd reach the sun.
[Eb] _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] Well, you were so [Eb] clever with [Bb] your hands.
_ [Eb] She watched you [Bb] for hours, _ [F] with [Eb] glue and with rubber [Bb] bands.
[Eb] With feathers and lace and [Bb] flowers, _ [F] finished [Eb] [Bb] wings gleamed so bright, like some bird of [G] glory. _
[Eb] She began [Bb] to envy you, your flight, [Eb] [Bb] like some hero's [Eb] story.
[Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _
[F] You tried to get [Eb] her to [Bb] go with you, [Eb] you tried all [Bb] ways to dare her.
But [F] she [Eb] looked at the [Bb] skies so blue, [Eb] and said the height would [Bb] scare her.
[F] But [Gm] she carried the wings for you, all up the [F] path to the [G] cliff face.
Kissed [Gm] you goodbye [Eb] and watched [Bb] your [Eb] eyes, _ [Bb] [F] already [G] bright [Bb] with [Eb] sunlight.
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
Well, it [F] was so [Eb] grand all at [Bb] the start, [Eb] to watch you soaring [Bb] higher.
[F] But there was a [Eb] pain [Bb] deep in her heart.
[Eb] The wings seemed tipped [Bb] with fire, _ [F] like [Eb] some [Bb] seagull or lark, rising [F] up [Gm] forever.
_ [Eb] Like some amber [Bb] or some [Eb] spark, [Bb] rising from [F] earth [Bb] to heaven.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _
[F] Then she [Eb] believed [Bb] you'd reach the sun.
_ [Eb] She believed [Bb] all you told her, [F] do a thing [Gm] no [Bb] man had ever done.
_ [Eb] You'd touch the [Bb] stars to please her.
[F] Then [Bb] she saw the white wings [Eb] fail, [Gm] saw [F] the feathers [Gm] falter.
And [Eb] watched you fall like a [Bb] ball of gold, [Eb] [Bb] into the [F] white [Bb] green water.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ [Eb] Some are [Bb] born to rise high, [Eb]
some are [Bb] born to follow.
_ [F] _ [Bb] Some are born to reach the [Eb] sky, some walk in [Bb] the hollow.
_ [Fm] And as I [Eb] watched your [Bb] body fall, [Gm]
I knew that [F] really [G] you were the one.
[Eb] For your [F] grave [Bb] was not the [Eb] earth, [Bb] but the reflections of the sun.
