[Intro]
[Verse - Sung with the Main Melody]
October fire, November rain. I left the fleece outside again.
The dampened ground, the thirsty wool, and I the faithless fool.
[Interval #1]
Dm/F Bb F Gm/F Am/F
Oh... Oh... Oh
Dm/F Bb F Gm/F Am/F
Oh... Oh... Oh
[Verse - Sung with the Main Melody]
You dinnae wait, but I dinnae call, and you dinnae comfort me at all.
So I blamed a woman, and a cursed the fall. I curse them devils and angels all.
[Interval #1]
Dm Bb F Gm/F F
But whose is the voice now keeping me from rest
Dm Bb F Gm/F F
When all I want is sleep
Dm Bb F Gm/F F
and whose are the hands pressed hard upon my chest
Dm Bb F
and, oh, I cannae breathe.
[Main Melody]
[Verse - Sung with the Main Melody]
The city's dark, the winter cold. The raven-crow its wings unfold.
But fly from me, ye demon bird. I will not make myself the third.
[Interval #1]
Dm Bb F Gm/F F
But whose is the voice now keeping me from rest
Dm Bb F Gm/F F
when all I want is sleep?
Dm Bb F Gm/F F
And whose are the hands pressed hard upon my chest
Dm Bb F
and, oh, I cannae breathe?
[Interval #2] x2
[Verse - Sung with the Main Melody]
October cries. September pains. The blood from birth which comes again.
The farm to yield, the crop is slain, the bloody labourer maintains.
Dm Bb F Gm/F F
Whose is the blood now smeared across my door
Dm Bb F Gm/F F
While, oh, the shadow creeps?
Dm Bb F Gm/F F
and whose is the voice now calling through the noise?
Dm Bb F
Says, 'go ye prophet, lead.'
