[Verse]
                      Am
Black flies on the windowsill

Am
That we are

Am
That we are

Am              F
That we are to know

F                     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

Am              C            F
No man is an island this I know

                   Am
But can't you see

Am                 C                        F
Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone

                      Am
Black flies on the windowsill

Am
That we are

Am
That we are

Am              F
That we are to hold

F                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

Am              C            F
No man is an island this I know

                   Am
But can't you see

Am                 C                        F
Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone
