The warming sun, the cooling rain,
F G
C D9 (x5755x)
[Refrão]
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
D G Em A
The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
F G C D9
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.
F Bb C F
The words of love, the cries of hate,
Bb Am Bb F
And the man in the moon who seduced you
Bb F
Then finally loosed you.
