Verse
C# D#m G# C#
I hid myself from failure and fear

Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall

All through the twilight you’re listening for me
D#m C# C Fm
Darling, go to sleep

Cradled by moonlight, I’m dreaming we’ll be
D#m C# C Fm
Loved so deep
Chorus:
A# A#/A A#/G# Cm
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Eo A# D(B5) C#o
‘Till you cut through my tether and changed everything

From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
