Lyrics

[Intro]
| Em - | -  - | D A | Em - |
| D  A | Em - | D A | Em - |
| D  A |

[Verse 1]
Em
  I was just
  D       A
Bony hands
   Em
As cold as
A winter pole
D A Em               D
      You held a warm Stone out
A
    Em
New flowing
             D A
Blood to hold
Em              D    A
  Oh, what a contrast
        Em
You were
To the brutes
            D A
In the halls
Em
  My timid young
   D        A
Fingers held
  Em           D A
A decent animal

[Chorus]
G            D
 Over the ramparts
You tossed
G
 The scent of your
    D
Skin and some
Foreign flowers
G                D
 Tied to a brick,
               F
Sweet as a song
The years have
          C
Been short but
                  D
The days were long

[Verse 2]
Em
  Cool of a
     D          A
Temperate breeze
     Em
From dark skies
            D A
To wet grass
Em                   D        A
  We fell in a field, It seems
now
  Em
A thousand
Summers passed
D A Em
      When our kite
            D      A
Lines first crossed
Em
  We tied 'em
          D A
Into knots
Em
  But to finally
    D    A
Fly apart
   Em
We had to
            D A
Cut them off

[Chorus]
G
 Since then it's been
      D
A book you
               G
Read in reverse
So you understand
    D
Less as the pages turn
G                   D
 Or a movie so crass
                  F
And awkwardly cast
That even
 C                 G
I could be the star

[Bridge]
C       D
 I don't look back
    F         G
Much as a rule
C            D
 And all this
Way before
F              G
Murder was cool
C         D
 But your memory
Is here and
    G              C
I'd like it to stay
           D
Warm light, on
A winter's day

[Chorus]
G            D
 Over the ramparts
You tossed
G
 The scent of your
    D
Skin and some
Foreign flowers
G                D
 Tied to a brick,
               F
Sweet as a song
The years have
            C
Seemed short
But the days
          F
Go slowly by

[Outro]
Two loose
     C
Kites fallen
From the sky
F
 Drawn to
          C
The ground in
                Dsus2
An end to flight
