C Am
The mistress of the dawn

strides along

with her solitary pawn

who lingers on

then is gone

with no word

and no one heard
Am
where he went

to this day
F C Am G F
maybe he would sail away
C Am
the children of the sun
G
having fun
F C
didnt realize they were done
Am
because the pawn
G F
chanced to wander thru the camp

just like a tramp
Am
he left his stamp there
G
to this day
F C Am G F
maybe he would sail away
Bb F
gone are silent summer rains
C
wind is rolling off the plains
Bb F
bringing ice upon the breeze

making flowing water freeze

the minstrel of the land
G
made a stand
F C
in a castle made of sand
Am
watched it fall
G
in the frost
F Em
and the message was lost
F
with one last word
C
to deliver
Am Em
under ice upon the river
F G
it lies frozen to this day
F
maybe he would sail away
G
sail away
F
frozen to this day
C Am G F
maybe he would sail away
