GSweetest surrender of winter

GShe put up her flag, it is waving

AmThe thunder of summer is rumbling inG

GAnd I haven't seen you in days

GAnd my, how that feeling has changed

Oh, I Amhave been homesick for you since we met G

AmI have been homesick for you

GI've got to take to the sky

GAnd I'll tell you what that means for you and I

If I dAmie it's for Gyou

CI never lived 'til I lGived in your light

And myAm heart never beat like itC does at theD sight

Of Cyou baby blue, God Gblessed your life

AmI do not live 'less IC live in your lGight

GThe realest thing I ever felt

GWas the blood on the floor and the love in your yell

AmI was a child beforeG

AmThe day that I met Eleanor

GKiss of the wind in the hill

The clearness of morning, the late evening thrill

AmBlurry and gray like the roaGr

AmThe wheels on the highway, above them I soaGr

GWhen I'm in the sweet daughter's eyes

GMy heart is now ruined for the rest of all time

AmThere's no part of it left to give G

CI never lived 'til I lGived in your light

And myAm heart never beat like itC does at theD sight

Of Cyou baby blue, God Gblessed your life

AmI do not live 'less IC live in your lGight

AmI do not live C G
