Gm Dm F Pale as winter, every splintered bone will fall Gm Dm F Our burning bridge will be a signal fire Gm Dm F But I will be gone, I will be gone by then Gm Dm F When I left, I dreamed us both as wild as sparrows Gm Dm F I wrote the state motto on my wrist Gm Dm F Then I called to you, I called to you, into the thick blue night Gm Dm F I called to you, I called to you, but I did not speak of love Gm Dm F Did not fold my hand, Gm Dm F Did not lower my flag Gm Dm F A time will come when we're no longer proud of such courage Gm Dm F I'll confess I do not wish to die alone, alone, alone Gm Dm F Oh you covered me, you covered me, when I left my skin behind Gm Dm F You covered me, you covered me, but I did not speak of love Gm Dm F Did not know to say I needed you Gm Dm F Did not know I needed you
