  			G             Em 
come now, and now my love, 
Am               C          G            Em 
 and leave your dying desert to the rains 
G            Em 
give up your treasured wounds, 
Am            C            G           Em 
let go the tempting memory of the pain. 
C            D 
give up the vows you've taken 
G             Em                  C       Am    G 
 and you will live, and you will learn to fly away, 
              D 
 and you will fly. 

G             Em 
and you will live my love 
Am               C          G            Em 
 and see the stars regain your starless night 
G             Em 
and you will find your sun 
Am               C          G            Em 
 and learn the magic meaning of it's light

all souls will be yours to cherish 
G       Em                  C       Am    G 
rising, falling, in their earthly flight 
              D 
 and you will fly

and i would love my love 
Am               C          G            Em 
 and he would seek a refuge in my eyes 
G             Em 
but no resource of love, 
Am               C          G             Em 
could keep him from the fire where loving dies 
 C                         D 
 and i would reach out my hand as he was 
G         Em            C       Am    G 
 falling, falling to his home on high 
              D 
and he would fly 

G  Em  Am  C  G  Em 

G             Em 
give up your treasured wounds, 
Am               C          G         Em 
let go the tempting memory of the pain 
 C            D 
give up the vows you've taken 
G             Em                  C       Am    G 
 and you will live, and you will learn to fly again, 
              D 
 and you will fly.
