Dm  Dm7   C  A#  Dm

Dm            Dm7
Huddled like rabbits
By the hole by the fence
Dm            C
Frozen like statues
       A#           Dm
To the chair on the lake

Dm          C
Clouds of birds
      A#           Dm7
Make shadows on the moss
Dm         C
Fields of kale
     A#           Dm
All patterned with ice

C     G   C   A#   F
Oh-ohohhh ouuuuutside
C     G    C    A#   F
Oh-ohohhh the swans rise

riff

Curve of the river
Like the neck of a swan
And the veil of the sky
All peppered with rain

A fields of crows
They cling to the bone
And the a love unchanged
By the chatter of time

Oh-ohohhh outside
Oh-ohohhh the swans rise
