[Intro]
C G Am G
[Verse 1]
C G Am G
Love, I know, it's been a long, long year
C G Am G
What we lived in the flicker of the light
C G Am G
I hung those feathers like hair upon your shoulder
C G Am G
Best not untethered our bodies to the ground
[Chorus]
F G
Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope,
Am G
Cradled by the dawn,
F G
The afterglow, a mothers' love,
Am G
A deer trail in the snow.

C G Am G
I keep the static playing on the radio,
C G
You move through the room,
Am G
With a misty halo.
[Chorus]
F G
Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope,
Am G
Cradled by the dawn,
F G
The afterglow, a mothers' love,
Am G
A deer trail in the snow.
F G
And we unfold to the edge of it,
Am G
A crimson sky hangs low,
F G
A rush of blood, a hammer blow,
Am G
A deer trail in the snow.
