Intro
C#m A E B (2x)
[Verse 1]
C#m A E B
I would that we were, my beloved
C#m A E B
White birds on the foam of the sea__
C#m A E B
We tire of the flame of a meteor
F# E B
Before it can fade and flee
[Verse 2]
A E F#m E B C#m
And the flame of the blue star of twilight
A E B
Hung low on the rim of the sky
A E B C#m
Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved
A E B
F# sadness that may not die
[Verse 3]
C#m A E B
F# weariness comes from those dreamers
C#m A E B
Dew-dabbled, the lily and rose__
C#m A E B
Ah, dream not of that, my beloved
F# E B
Burn the flame of the meteor that goes
[Verse 4]
A E F#m E B C#m
Or the flame of the blue star that lingers
A E B
Hung low in the fall of the dew
A E B C#m
For I would we were changed To white birds on the wandering foam
A E B

[Verse 5]
C#m A E B
I am haunted by numberless islands
C#m A E B
And many a Danaan shore
C#m A E B
When time would surely forget us
F# E B
And sorrow come near us no more
[Verse 6]
A E F#m E B C#m
Soon far from the rose and the lily__
A E B
And afraid of the flames would we be
A E B C#m
Were we only white birds, my beloved
A E B
Right out of the foam of the sea
A E B C#m
Were we only white birds, my beloved
A E B
Right out of the foam of the sea
