[Verse 1]
A
She's a mollusk,a seamstress,a princess, a priestess,
Asus4
a negress, she knows her position
D Dsus4 D
She's a swallow, a willow, a cello, a pillow,
a bow and also a physician
E D
She takes your eyes and mends your head
E D
She draws the wine and breaks the bread
A
She has no lies to tell you and no truths to sell you
G E A
She's a girl, she's almost a woman
[Chorus]
F C G
And Zero she flies as the morning sighs
D A
Spreads her wings like a seagull
F C G
From the mountain he watches her,biding his time
D A G A
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle
[Verse 2]
A
He's a hawthorn, a raven, a scarecrow, a haven
for moon-blessed thought and opinion
D
He will laugh like the fountains, the bones of the mountains
lie deep in his forest religion
E D
You will call his name when evening falls
E D
And the ground sets hard and the night wind calls
A
You will feed him and heed him, at times you will need him
G E A
Say you were almost his woman
[Chorus]
F C G
And Zero she flies as the morning sighs
D A
Spreads her wings like a seagull
F C G
From the mountain he watches her,biding his time
D A G A
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle
[Verse 3]
A
In the shuddering mad red blood-let sunset
a tired man is leaving his cover
D
And the soft eyes of Zero are cut by the sounds
of the vanishing feet of her lover
E D
And the door slams shut and the air grows tight
E D
And her throat is gripped by the hands of night
A
And all that is left is the clock on the shelf
G E A
As it ticks one day into another
[Chorus]
F C G
And Zero she sighs as the morning dies
D A
With the broken wings of a seagull
F C G
From the mountain he watches her, sensing his time
D A G A
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle
[Verse 4]
A
At the fall of the day the man of the mountain
is nearing the end of his travel
D
And the fence is down on the westland bounds
and a footfall pounds in the gravel
E D
Comes a knock three times and the air grows still
E D
As he steps inside from the sudden chill
A
And the moment is caught in the net of the night
G E A
For the coming of dawn to unravel
[Chorus]
F C G
And Zero she flies as the morning sighs
D A
Spreads her wings like a seagull
F C G
From the mountain he's coming, judging his time
D A
And his eyes are the eyes of an eagle
F C G
Oh Zero she flies as the morning dies
D A
Spreads her wings like a seagull
F C G
From her window he watches her, a man in his time
D C A
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle
