C Am
The mistress of the dawn

strides along

with her solitary pawn

who lingers on

then is gone

with no word
C
and no one heard
Am
where he went
G
to this day
F C Am G F
maybe he would sail away
C Am
the children of the sun
G
having fun
F C
didnt realize they were done
Am
because the pawn
G F
chanced to wander thru the camp

just like a tramp
Am
he left his stamp there
G
to this day
F C Am G F
maybe he would sail away
Bb F
gone are silent summer rains
C
wind is rolling off the plains
Bb F
bringing ice upon the breeze

making flowing water freeze
C Am
the minstrel of the land
G
made a stand
F C
in a castle made of sand
Am
watched it fall
G
in the frost
F Em
and the message was lost
F
with one last word
C
to deliver
Am Em
under ice upon the river
F G
it lies frozen to this day
F
maybe he would sail away
G
sail away
F
frozen to this day
C Am G F
maybe he would sail away
