D#           G#        D#
Flight is a beautiful word
D#             G#
Flowered with consonance
D#                F
That's what I'll follow
   Cm  D#  G#
Forever

I am a beautiful bird
Fluttered and floating
Swollen and hollowed
For heaven

Chorus:
F    C       A#
Do what you want with me
 F            C  A#
Lost in your captivity
 G#         D#
Learning capacity
     Gm            Cm
For make-believing everything
    G#            D#
Is really hanging on

Slipping away from the party
Totally vacant
Everyone gone from their bodies

You were outside kissing another
She was a friend of mine
I was surprised to discover

F            C      A#
I wrapped my arms around her
F          C         A#
She was a beautiful figure
 G#          D#
There are no enemies
      Gm             Cm
We're make-believing everything
    G#            D#
Is really hanging on

There is a castle that stands
High in the canyon
The blue knights are crying together
A child is holding my hand
She is directing, the red crystal
pine with a feather

Chorus

   G#             D#
Is really hanging on
G#             D#
Really hanging on
