It's the shadow in the dark

The silver in the park
E G
It's the broken, faded bird
D E
You've learned to call your heart
E G
It's not a border you can see
D E
Plainer than you or me
E G
I don't pull the lock back
D C E
And I don't have the key
No key

It hovers in the living room
E G
Just above the door
E G
Whistles while it hangs there

Feathers drip from every pore

It shows the spectacle of falling
D C E
And settles to the floor

It shows the spectacle of falling
D C E
And settles to the floor

And settles to the floor
