     G         D
And Meet, me there. With bundles of flowers
                                 G     D
We'll wade through the hours Of cold. Winter,
 D
She'll howl at the walls. Tearing down doors
    G      D             G
Of time. Shelter, as we go

And promise me this
You'll wait for me only
Scared of the lonely arms
That surface, far below these birds

     A/C#                         D
And maybe, just maybe, I'll come home

 D
Who am I darling to you?
                       Bm
Who am I to tell you stories of mine?
Bm
Who am I?
  D
Who am I darling for you?
                     Bm
Who am I to be your burden in time? Lonely
Bm
Who am I to you?

 D
Who am I, darling for you?
                      Bm
Who am I, to be your burden?
Bm
And who am, I darling to you?
Bm
Who am I?

I come alone here
I come alone here
