             G#
I was just a boy
                   Fm
My father seemed a mountain then
       Cm                         C#
With a voice that could shake the seas
             G#                     Fm
My mother's ghost hung across his shoulders
        C                                C#
And he said she was still watching over me

               G#
My brother was home
                 Fm
Just returned on army leave
          Cm                     C#
Told his stories with a distant stare
          G#
And as it snowed
                       Fm
The wind was howling through the trees
        C                  C#               G#
And I spent my night just listening by the fire

    Cm                             C#
My hands move the creases from my brow
           G#
Soft as a breath
             D#
It's like a feather
   Cm                             C#
I dreamed of a lonely voice that night
          G#
Quiet as death
            D#
Outside my window
           Cm             C#
It sang a sad and lovely tune
           G#
Clear as a bell
            D#
Soft as a shiver
         Cm                 C#
It said, I want you all the time
   C#m                       G#
It said, I want you all the time

              G#    Cm
Goodbye bad thoughts
                G#    Cm
I'm safe under covers
                 G#     Cm
So goodbye bad thoughts
                       G#    Cm
'Cause I'm safe under covers
                  G#
Now I can see you again
