Am
One swallow never made a spring
Am                                         G
You can buy a crown - it doesn't make you king
G             F       G      Am
Beware the trinkets that we bring

[Verse 1]
 Am                           F                  Dm            F
When the visionary dreams set hard and grey as flesh made into stone
     Am             F                      Dm            G
You tore the statues to the ground crying - let my people go
G                F     G      Am   F
And now they're gone, all is gone
 F         Dm                     G              Am
But these changing winds can turn cold and hostile

[Chorus 2]
Am
The freedom passion and the two faced call
Am                           G
They dance together upon the wall
G             F       G        Am
With nothing left to break the fall

[Verse 2]
Am                                 F
Now twenty-five miles north in the great dark woods
F        Dm            F
The college buildings stand
F         Am                 F                   Dm                   G
And the ghosts of hope walk silent halls at the death of the Promised Land
        F     G      Am    F
All is gone, all is gone
          Dm                        G        Am
But these changing winds can turn cold and hostile

[Chorus 1]
 Am
One swallow never made a spring
Am                                         G
You can buy a crown - it doesn't make you king
G             F       G      Am
Beware the trinkets that we bring

[Bridge]
            Bm                               C#m           F#m       Am
And in the shadows of the crowded square, a thousand paper deals go down
            Bm                               C#m           F#m       Am
And hungry sharks from everywhere smell the blood and head for town
             Bm                               C#m           F#m       Am 
Innocence starts to peel away - How money changes everything
        Bm                       C#m           F#m      Am    
The past it eats the future up and this blind desire eats everything

[Verse 3]
         Am                    F                  Dm           F
Now the rats they leave one stricken ship for another sailing past
        Am            F                  Dm              G
Your world was going nowhere slow while ours goes nowhere fast
             F    G        Am    F
And now it's gone, all is gone
           F                      G             Am
But these changing winds can blow cold and hostile

[Chorus 2]
Am
The freedom passion and the two faced call
Am                           G
They dance together upon the wall
G             F       G        Am
With nothing left to break the fall

[Chorus 1]
Am
One swallow never made a spring
Am                                         G
You can buy a crown - it doesn't make you king
G             F       G      Am
Beware the trinkets that we bring

[Chorus 2]
Am
The freedom passion and the two faced call
Am                           G
They dance together upon the wall
G             F       G        Am
With nothing left to break the fall
