[Verse 1]
                   Am
Black flies on the windowsill
That we are That we are
               F
That we are to know

                      Am
Winter stole summer's thrill

                 F
And the river's cracked and cold

                Am
See the sky is no man's land

            F
A darkened plume to stay

                  Am
Hope here needs a humble hand

                            F
Not a fox found in your place
[Chorus]
Am           G                 F
No man is an island, this I know
But can't you see?
Am                   G                       F
Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone
[Verse 2]
                    Am
Black flies on the windowsill
That we are That we are
                F
That we are to hold

              Am
Comfort came against my will

               F
And every story must grow old

                Am
Still I'll be a traveller

           F
A gypsy's reins to face

                Am
But the road is wearier

              F
With that fool found in your place
[Chorus]
Am           G                 F
No man is an island, this I know
But can't you see?
Am                   G                       F
Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone
So here we are
