[Opening]
And the [C]days go by like a [D]strand in the wind, in the [Em]web that is my own I begin again
[C]Said to my friend, [D]Baby, nothing else [Em]mattered

When I [C]see you doing what I [D]try to do for me
With the [Em]words from a poet and a voice from a choir
And a [C]melody, [D]nothing else [Em]mattered

Well then [C]suddenly there was [D]no one left standing in the [Em]hall
Yeah Yeah, in a [C]flood of tears that [D]no one really ever heard [Em]fall at all
Well I went [C]searching for an answer up the [D]stairs and down the hall
[Em]Not to find an answer but just to hear the call of a [C]nightbird [D]
Singing [Em]come away, (come away, come away)

Well I [Em]hear you in the [D]morning and I [Em]hear you at [D]nightfall
And [Em]sometimes to be [D]near you is [Em]to be [D]unable to [C]feel you [D]my [Em]love
I’m a few years [C]older than you [D]my [Em]love
[chorus]
Just like the [C]white-winged dove sings a [D]song sounds like she’s singing, [Em]ooh baby, ooh said ooh
