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

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