Nightbird

F G C I'm standing at the door G C Crying let me in G C I see her dancing there in all her wonder F G C F How her body moves with eternal youth Am7 C F And her footsteps hammer on like rolling thunder G C While I'm stuck here in the shadows G C Fueling the dream G C Another face just flashing in the night F G The smoke it folds around me C F Like unenchanted wings Am7 C F As I listen to the nightbirds singing in their flight F G C F Oh, close this great divide Am7 C F Between my heart and mind G C Once shе held me in my anguish G C Pulled mе from my pain G C And sheltered me from life's mysteries F G Somewhere beyond the darkness C F Lies incredible light Am7 C F At least that’s what she once made me believe G C So go dive in empty spaces G C Where magic weaves and spins G C Go find her there, it's where she set me free F G C F Now I'm pulling chains from every corner of her memory Am7 C F Go find her there and bring her back to me F G C F Oh, close this great divide Am7 C F Between my heart and mind F Em F Just listen to the nightbirds F Em F Listen to the nightbirds F Em F Listen to the nightbirds F Em F Listen to the nightbirds G C Well, if I could turn my back now G C And lay back down with you G C I'd pull you in and finally get some sleep F G Listening to the nightbirds C F Without wondering how Am7 C F They hold her in their song so casually
