[Verse 1]
    F#m               C#/E#
The willow it weeps today

A breeze from a distance

Is calling your name

  F#m                       C#/E#
Unfurl your black wings and wait

 E                  A
Across the horizons coming

    E/G#      F#m C#/E# E
to sweep you away

     A         E/G#       F#m C#/E# A E/G#

May you never be broken again

[Verse 2]
    F#m               C#/E#
The fragile can not endure

The wrecked and the jaded

  A          E/G#
a place so impure

     F#m                 C#/E#
The static of this cruel world

      E                 A
Cause some birds to fly long

       E/G#               F#m C#/E# E
before they've seen their day

A           E                  F#m C#/E# A E/G#
long before they've seen their day
[Chorus 2]

Let the wind carry you home

May you never be broken again

Beyond the suffering you've known
