Title : Immortal Bird

C minorCm

C minorCm
What drives us on?
   AbAb
What drives us on?

 C minorCm         F minorFm
I left something of myself in you
G minorGm          AbAb
Fourscore, twenty, thirty
C minorCm        F minorFm
In your body and in your flesh
G minorGm        AbAb
In your vault of skin
    C minorCm
I was nothing for you
     F minorFm     G minorGm
But the shadow of another love
     AbAb
That one day for you
    C minorCm
Would shift the skies
   F minorFm
To pastures blue
        G minorGm     AbAb
Streaked with passing and loss
C minorCm       F minorFm
Tortoise green in my eyes
     G minorGm
From the moss of my past
AbAb
You arise
   C minorCm      F minorFm
And lightly then I saw you smile
   G minorGm        AbAb
With ivory throat and ivory eyes
  C minorCm        F minorFm
At night I catch you before I sleep
  G minorGm     AbAb
And if I died before I wake
  C minorCm         F minorFm
I prayed that you my heart might keep
  G minorGm        AbAb
I cannot hold your tunneled eyes
C minorCm       F minorFm
Near my heart any longer
G minorGm        AbAb
All this love is nothing truly:
C minorCm
Mist of moons' breath
F minorFm
Grit of evening
   G minorGm         AbAb
The grass was green (I now recall)
C minorCm       F minorFm
Before my own particular fall
  G minorGm
I saw we were both really
AbAb
Masks on nothing
   C minorCm           F minorFm
(The moonlight sweeping over northern beaches)
     G minorGm
All the trees stand stripped
    AbAb
Just silhouettes of memories
  C minorCm            F minorFm
At night I have started to dream of you:
   G minorGm
Your eyes are wide
     AbAb       C minorCm
And shot through with sea blue
