  			G 
The warm wind will not blow tonight 
C 
For the fog enshrouds landing light 
Am                                      G 
As she said she might have heard a bell tolling 
G 
Though a gold ship sails her clouds and dreams 
C 
Through the crashing seas she finds it seems 
Am                                         G 
That the shore she's looking for is hardly showing 
D                          C 
Oh what is this song she's singing 
D                   C                      G 
Oh could it be for someone, being her, her everything 
G 
Her paradisiac age and seas 
C 
Whisper tongues  into philosophies 
Am                                         G 
As petite Colombe has only what she's been stealing 
G 
Tapestries that drape her walls 
C 
Telling heroes she has witnessed fall 
Am                                             G 
While the hallway leaves them all blank to the ceiling 
D                        C 
Oh again this song she's singing 
D                      C                         G    
Oh could it be for someone, being her, her every dream 
G 
Beneath the deep and broken wall 
C 
The reflecting glass of time it falls 
Am                                             G 
Through the crack she said she heard the ocean calling 
G 
Foghorn cries profanity 
C 
At the master of insanity 
Am                                    G 
As she watches ruins,  leading me and sobbing 
D                        C 
Oh again this song she's singing 
D                  C                       G 
Oh could it be for someone, being her, her everything.
