When the evening, like a sparrow, folds down under it's small wings
    E minorEm         D MajorD          C majorC  D MajorD
All the light bones and the feathers of the day
   C majorC       G+G        D MajorD           G+G
Only then, in that moment, stop the rushing and just hold me
     C majorC       G+G        D MajorD       G+G
Lay your hands where it hurts and we'll leave it that way

Well, I have often dreamt of angels, but I very rarely see them
   E minorEm           D MajorD     C majorC           D MajorD
But I know that they've been this way, something smells like sky
    C majorC        G+G        D MajorD          G+G
In the rustle of their presence, it's a lot like your breathing
     C majorC     G+G       D MajorD     G+G
Sounds a lot like a promise, but I can't say why

Ooh ooh, oooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

And I have searched all the wise and the unwise places

I have known the price of passion and what solitude buys
         B minorBm        E minorEm    C majorC
It was you I was looking for in all those faces

Always you I was hoping for when I closed my eyes

N.C.     E minorEm       D MajorD           C majorC         G+G
Well, I will gather all the feathers that collect up in the corners
    E minorEm       D MajorD        C majorC        D MajorD
All the risings and the fallings in the quiet of the day
      C majorC       G+G        D MajorD         G+G
When you speak, there's a flutter of some winged thing stirring
     C majorC     G+G        D MajorD       G+G
Lay your head on my heart and we'll leave it that way
