A Long Year

C G Am G C G Am G Love, I know, it's been a long, long year C G Am G What we lived in the flicker of the light C G Am G I hung those feathers like hair upon your shoulder C G Am G Best not untethered our bodies to the ground F G Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope, Am G Cradled by the dawn, F G The afterglow, a mothers' love, Am G A deer trail in the snow. C G Am G C G Am G I keep the static playing on the radio, C G You move through the room, Am G With a misty halo. F G Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope, Am G Cradled by the dawn, F G The afterglow, a mothers' love, Am G A deer trail in the snow. F G And we unfold to the edge of it, Am G A crimson sky hangs low, F G A rush of blood, a hammer blow, Am G A deer trail in the snow.
