South For The Winter

Tom : F
C F Dm Bb F
Settling in for a lonely one
C F Dm Bb F
Quiet as snow now the lights are gone
C F Dm Bb F
The houses fall and they rise anew
C F Am
But the faces change
Bb F
They all move on like you
Gm F C
The air feels colder tonight
Gm F C
They all pass over in the fading light

[Chorus]
F Bb F Dm C
South for the winter once again
F Bb F Dm C
So as we end, so I begin

[Interlude]
C Dm Am Bb F

[Verse 2]
C Dm Am Bb F
Covering up all the careless things
C Dm Am Bb F
The curtains drawn on the suffering
C Dm Am Bb F
The postcards come from a brighter day
C Dm Am Bb F
I'll see you soon, but soon seems far away
Gm F C
The wind calls the moth from the nest
Gm F C
The wings grow tired but there's no rest

[Chorus]
F Bb F Dm C
South for the winter once again
F Bb F Dm C
So as we end, so I begin
F Bb F Dm C
South for the winter, back to blue
F Bb F Dm C
Over and over, but not over you

[Bridge]
Bb
Speak slowly so I can see
F
The sun from your memory
Ab F
Just take your sweet time let it last beyond the dream
Bb
I know you can't stay for long
F
Soon the current will be strong
Ab F
You'll fly away and I'll lay in this place of sleep
Fsus
This place of sleep
F Fsus
This place of sleep

[Chorus]
F Bb F Dm C
South for the winter once again
F Bb F Dm C
So as we end so I begin
F Bb F Dm C
South for the winter flying free
F Bb F Dm C
Gone to the dawn leave the dark for me

[Interlude]
  C  Dm  Am   Bb
F (2x)
C Dm Am Bb F
I'm just settling in for a lonely one
C Dm Am Bb F
Quiet as snow all the lights are gone
F
You're gone
F
You're gone
