Zero She Flies Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]She's a mollusk,
A seamstress,
A princess,
A priestess,
A negress,
She knows her position

[Verse 2]
She's a [C]swallow,
A willow,
A cello,
A pillow,
A bow

[Verse 3]
And also a physician
[D]She takes [C]your eyes
And mends your head
[D]She draws the win[C]e
And breaks the bread
She has [G]no lies to tell you
And no truths to sell you
She's [F]a girl,
She's [D]almost [G]a woman

[Verse 4]
And [Eb]zero she flies as [Bb]the morning sigh[F]s
[C]Spreads her wings like a s[G]eagull
From the [Eb]mountain he watches her,
[Bb]Biding his t[F]ime
But his [C]eyes are the eyes
of an [G]eagle
[F][G]

[Verse 5]
He's a hawthorn,
A raven,
A scarecrow,
A haven
For moon-blessed thought
thought and opinion
He [C]will laugh like the fountains,
The bones of the mountains
Lie deep in his forest religion

[Verse 6]
[D]You will call his [C]name when evening falls
And [D]the ground sets [C]hard
and the night wind calls
You will [G]feed him and heed him,
At times you will need him
[F]Say you were almost [D]his wo[G]man

[Verse 7]
And [Eb]zero she flies as [Bb]the morning sigh[F]s
[C]Spreads her wings like a s[G]eagull
From [Eb]the mountain he watches her,
[Bb]Biding his t[F]ime
But his [C]eyes are the eyes
of an [G]eagle[F][G]
In the shuddering mad red
blood-let sunset
sunset
A tired man is leaving his cover
[C]And the soft eyes of zero
Are cut by the sounds
Of the vanishing feet of her lover

[Verse 8]
And the door [D]slams [C]shut
And the air grows tight
And [D]her throat is [C]gripped
By the hands of night
And [G]all that is left
Is the clock on the shelf
As [F]it ticks one [D]day into [G]another

[Verse 9]
And [Eb]zero she sighs as the [Bb]morning [F]dies
With the [C]broken wings of [G]a seagull
From [Eb]the mountain he watches her,
[Bb]sensing his [F]time
But his [C]eyes are the eyes of an [G]eagle[F][G]
At the pall of the day
the man of the mountain
Is nearing the end of his travel
And [C]the fence is down
On the westland bounds
And a footfall pounds in the gravel

[Verse 10]
Comes a [D]knock three [C]times
And the air grows still
[D]As he steps [C]inside from
the sudden chill
And the [G]moment is caught
in the net of the night
For [F]the coming of [D]dawn to un[G]ravel

[Verse 11]
And [Eb]zero she flies as [Bb]the morning sigh[F]s
[C]Spreads her wings like a s[G]eagull
From the [Eb]mountain he's coming,
[Bb]Judging [F]his time
And his [C]eyes are the eyes of an [G]eagle
[Eb]Oh

[Verse 12]
zero she flies as [Bb]the morning [F]dies
[C]Spreads her wings like a s[G]eagull
From her [Eb]window he watches her,
A [Bb]man in his t[F]ime
But [C]his eyes are [Bb]the eyes of an [G]eagle

[Outro 1]
[F][G]
