Gm

there is the tower  

like a solitary flower  

standing in the snow  

as the wolves all wait below  C

and you're walking on the ledge  throwing bread crusts off the edge  Gm

as you sing in voice so clear  and my name I think I hear  

Fm

concealed within the theme  

C

then it disappears as  

Gm

steam  

and I'm standing far below  

watching wolves you seem to know  as your voice still carries on  in your never-ending song  

and my blood begins to boil  

and my bones melt into oil  

hissing liquid in the snow  

as my body sinks below  

and a ripple sends a beam  

of sunlight dancing through the steam  

my now unfettered soul  

has direction I control  

to your tower I draw near  

but do I see a trace of fear?  the approaching sound of hooves  now scatters all the wolves

you briefly watch the horseman ride  then you quickly run inside  

the rider's weapons gleam  

while the horse's nostrils steam  

there's no time to reflect, who  is this man? I must protect you  in the rider's hand I see  

he holds your prison's only key  he glances up and glares  

and then he starts to climb the stairs  I can tell you're terrified  

so I quickly go inside  

but then I hear a fateful scream  and your soul joins mine as  

Eb

steam  

Dm or Dadd9 Jam

we escaped the dreadful night  and as lovers soared in flight  blissful weeks turned into seasons  but one day without a reason  

or goodbye you flew below  

back to the animals you know  

now you forever sing your song  with the wolves where you belong  now quite alone I often dream  I hear you singing through the steam
