Capo on 2nd
Am C F
I was swallowed by all I carried in me
Am C F
Wondering in the night where this old road would lead
Dm G C Am/G Em Am/G
And if the wild wind would blow you far from me, oh no
Am C F
The stars began to fade as the wind shook the trees
Am C F
And all that we had made seemed to rattle all through me
Dm G C Am/G Em Am/G
Unravelling the thread we'd sewn so carefully, oh no
F G
One day we'll find our way
F G
Oh, hold close, I can feel it
F G C Am/G Em Am/G
We're falling like a stone, oh
Am C Am
In winter's hand our fate was held as it blew our way
Am C Am
What once had lit our eyes was growing dimmer with each day
Dm G F
Knowing fear would only break us more if we stayed, oh no
F G
Hold close, I can feel it
F
We're falling like a stone, oh
F
And oh I know, though my heart would
G F Em F
Sail these wild winds, no I'm letting go
Dm G Em F
And in the end, when our days are all spent
Dm G
And the bright fire is gone
Em F
I'd not give it all up
G C Am/G Em Am/G C
No, I'll hold you as you're drifting off to sleep
