I was just a boy
                   Fm
My father seemed a mountain then
       Cm                         Db
With a voice that could shake the seas
            Ab                     Fm
My mother's ghost hung across his shoulders
       C                                Db
And he said she was still watching over me

My brother was home
                 Fm
Just returned on army leave
         Cm                      Db
Told his stories with a distant stare
          Ab
And as it snowed
                     Fm
The wind was howling through the trees
      C                   Db                Ab
And I spent my night just listening by the fire

My hands move the creases from my brow
          Ab
Soft as a breath
            Eb
It's like a feather
  Cm                             Db
I dreamed of a lonely voice that night
         Ab
Quiet as death
           Eb
Outside my window
          Cm             Db
It sang a sad and lovely tune
           Ab
Clear as a bell
          Eb
Soft as a shiver
         Cm                 Db
It said, I want you all the time
   Dbm                       Ab
It said, I want you all the time

Goodbye bad thoughts
                 Ab         Cm
I'm safe under covers 
               Ab           Cm
So goodbye bad thoughts
                      Ab    Cm
'Cause I'm safe under covers
                  Ab
Now I can see you again
