[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G
Follow,
Em D/F# G
the flight of the north moving birds
G
Steady
Em D/F# G
the echo, the great moving herd
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
They fly through the night
Am Em
Fill their wings and their sights
C D/F# G
With cold air and pale shadowed moons
Am Em
Oh lover, kid you not
Am Em
Though we promised a lot
C D/F# G
I must fly from you
[Chorus]
Am Em
So hold me
Am Em
Sing me to sleep
C D/F# G
On the crest of a late breaking wave
Am Em
And write me
Am Em
Into your thoughts
C D/F# G
I'll be safe with the words on the page
Am Em Am Em C D/F# G
[Verse 2]
G
Shadow,
Em D/F# G
The light plays its own little games
G
Dream world
Em D/F# G
Its own silent claim to remain
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am Em
And it'll follow you still
Am Em
Through the streams and the hills
C D/F# G
And remnants of gold autumn leaves
Am Em
Oh lover, you can walk
Am Em
But your shadow still stalks
C D/F# G
From between the trees
[Chorus]
Am Em
So hold me
Am Em
Sing me to sleep
C D/F# G
On the crest of a late breaking wave
Am Em
And write me
Am Em
Into your thoughts
C D/F# G
I'll be safe with the words on the page
[Outro]
Am Em Am Em C D/F# G
Am Em Am Em C D/F# G
