It was all of a windy day

And the sky was full of crows

When her lovely soul ascended
                   G
She just closed her heart and rose

Verse 6:
                 C    G
And whither the soul of this creature?

Tell me the story again

Of scarves and songs and the skin of space

And how Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn

Love somebody the way that he loved Beverly Penn
