D            G        Em      A

      F        G               C              D9 (x5755x) 
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze, 
D              G                  Em       A 
The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you 
F         G              C         D9 
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through. 
F             Bb         C        F 
The words of love, the cries of hate, 
Bb       Am         Bb         F 
And the man in the moon who seduced you 
      Bb      F 
Then finally loosed you.
