I lost my lover deep inside this valley

A                      Bm                  F#m   E
I was searching when I thought I heard her call

E       Bm            F#m             D              C#m
But the echoes in the canyon so much like my lover’s voice

G                            D                E              A
Were the high white cries of eagles spinning careless in the wind

Bm C#m  D G  D G
        Oh oo oo

C

I lost my lover in an old house off the freeway

A                         Bm          F#m   E
We’d stopped to take some rustic photographs

E       Bm            F#m                        D           C#m
Yeah, I walked the halls and empty rooms but all I heard was rain

G                            D   E         A
So I made my way up to the cemetery on the hill
[Chorus]
D                       Bm                F#m               D
Oh, The wild goose runs circles round the wishing well till dawn

D                       Bm                F#m                  D
All the sons and unwed mothers make their way down through the fog

D        C#m              Bm                   A                D
Does the howling of these dire wolves wake the dead or just the dogs?

I lost my lover in the shadows of this city

A                       Bm                F#m   E
We were waiting for our rideshare in the rain

E   Bm        F#m
She kissed me twice and snapped her fingers

D              C#m          G             D
And suddenly I stood at the edge of every world

D        E              A
I’d ever conjured in my mind
