Gm                                 F Gm
Through the woods, and frosted moors
Gm                            F Gm
Past the snow-caked hedgerows I
Gm                             F Gm
Bed down upon the drifting snow
Gm                           F Gm
Sleep beneath the melting sky
Gm                      F Gm
I whisper all your names
Gm                      F Gm
I know not where you are
Gm                         F        Gm
But somewhere, somewhere, somewhere here
Gm                         F
Upon this wild abandoned star

Chorus:
         F
And I'm full of love
And I'm full of wonder
And I'm full of love
                            Gm
And I'm falling under your spell

I have no abiding memory
No awakening, no flaming dart
No word of consolation
No arrow through my heart
Only a feeble notion
A glimmer from afar
That I cling to with my fingers
As we go spinning wildly through the stars

Chorus

The wind lifts me to my senses
I rise up with the dew
The snow turns to streams of light
The purple heather grows anew
I call you by your name
I know not where you are
But somehow, somewhere, sometime soon
Upon this wild abandoned star


Chorus
