Zero She Flies

Tom : G
B
She's a mollusk
A seamstress
A princess
A priestess
A negress
She knows her position
E
She's a swallow
A willow
A cello
A pillow
A bow
And also a physician
F# E
She takes your eyes
And mends your head
F# E
She draws the wine
And breaks the bread
B
She has no lies to tell you
And no truths to sell you
A
She's a girl
B
She's almost a woman

[Refrão]
G D A
And zero she flies as the morning sighs
E B
Spreads her wings like a seagull
G
From the mountain he watches her
D A
Biding his time
E B
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle

( A B )
B
He's a hawthorn
A raven
A scarecrow
A haven
For moon-blessed thought and opinion
E
He will laugh like the fountains
The bones of the mountains
Lie deep in his forest religion
F# E
You will call his name when evening falls
F# E
And the ground sets hard and the night wind calls
B
You will feed him and heed him
At times you will need him
A F# B
Say you were almost his woman

( B )
B
In the shuddering mad red blood-let sunset
A tired man is leaving his cover
E
And the soft eyes of Zero
Are cut by the sounds
Of the vanishing feet of her lover
F# E
And the door slams shut
And the air grows tight
F# E
And her throat is gripped
By the hands of night
B
And all that is left
Is the clock on the shelf
A F# B
As it ticks one day into another
G D A
And Zero she sighs as the morning dies
E B
With the broken wings of a seagull
G D A
From the mountain he watches her, sensing his time
E B Bm
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle
( A B )
B
At the pall of the day the man of the mountain
Is nearing the end of his travel
E
And the fence is down
On the westland bounds
And a footfall pounds in the gravel
F# E
Comes a knock three times
And the air grows still
F# E
As he steps inside from the sudden chill
B
And the moment is caught in the net of the night
A F# B
For the coming of dawn to unravel
G D A
And Zero she flies as the morning sighs
E B
Spreads her wings like a seagull
G
From the mountain he's coming
D A
Judging his time
E B
And his eyes are the eyes of an eagle
G D A
Oh Zero she flies as the morning dies
E B
Spreads her wings like a seagull
G
From her window he watches her
D A
A man in his time
E D B
But his eyes are the eeeyes of an eagle
