Verse
A A7 D A
Once my footsteps were drawn where a young girl was singing
A E7
On a cold lonely cliff by the sea
E/F# E/G# A A7 D A
And the song that she sang, was as lonely as dying
E7 A D D/E D/F#
And it seemed she was crying to me.

Her hair shined as blue as the wing of the raven

And at night when the wind sounds as lonely as dying

I can still hear her crying to me
