Lyrics

Night in gale,

sing us a (Bb6/9)song

of a love that once

be longed.

Night in gale,

tell me

your tale.

Was your jour ney far

too long?

Does it seem

like I’m look ing for an (F)an swer

to a ques tion I can’t ask?

I don’t know which way

the feath er falls,

or if I should blow it to the left.

Night in gale,

All the (Bb6/9)voic es

that are spin nin’ a round me,

try ing to tell me what ro (Bb6/9)say.

So can I fly right

be hind

you,

and you can take

me

a way?

All the (Bb6/9)voic es

that are spin nin’ a round

me,

try ing to tell me what to say.

So can I fly right

be hind you,

and you can take

me a way?

Ah.

You can take me a (C6/9)way.
