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

Ooh ooh,  oooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

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

Interlude:
G   D     C         G       D      Em
Ooh ooh,  oooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Bridge:
           D                Bm           Em        C
And I have searched all the wise and the unwise places
       G                  G/B              D
I have known the price of passion and what solitude buys
                 Bm               Em        C
It was you I was looking for in all those faces
                 G                 D         G
Always you I was hoping for when I closed my eyes

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

Outro:
G   D     C         G       D      Em
Ooh ooh,  oooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
    D     C         G       D      Em
Ooh ooh,  oooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
