[Verse]
C Em I would that we were, my beloved F White birds on the foam of the sea G Am Far from the rose and the lily F G C And the fret of the flames would we be
[Chorus]
C Em And the flame of the blue star of twilight F Hung low on the rim of the sky G Am Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved F G C A sadness that may never die F G C A sadness that may never die C Em A weariness comes from those dreamers F Dew-dabbled, the lily and rose G Am Ah, dream not of that, my beloved F G C The flame of the meteor that goes C Em Or the flame of the blue star that lingers F Hung low in the fall of the dew G Am For I would we were changed, my beloved F G C To white birds on the foam, I and you F G C To white birds on the foam, I and you
[Bridge]
Em Bend low, that I may crown you Em Flower of the branch Am Silver fish my hands have taken Am From the running stream F Morning star, trembling in the heavens G Like a white fawn on the border of a wood G Bend that I may crown you G That I may crown you
[Chorus]
C Em And the flame of the blue star of twilight F Hung low on the rim of the sky G Am Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved F G C A sadness that may never die F G C A sadness that may never die C Em Soon far from the rose and the lily F And fret of the flames would we be G Am Were we only white birds, my beloved F G C White birds on the foam of the sea F G C White birds on the foam of the sea
