South For The Winter

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 x2

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
