    We haven't been the same you know
since we buried you below. On that still winter day
In the plot you picked out so many years ago
when you laid your wife in her grave.

[chorus]
    Em    D  G       C                        G
But bring me back to autumn, or lead me onto May
Em  D  G      C                                               G        C         G         C
E|------'| m not ready to take the helm, abandoned on your dying day

[verse]
G
  Played that reverie, and that's just fine with me
if the crows sit and caw. How cold and deep the freeze
seals our every hope, even after the thaw.

[chorus]
    Em    D  G       C                        G
But bring me back to autumn, or lead me onto May
Em  D  G      C                                               G 
E|------'| m not ready to take the helm, abandoned on your dying day

   If I can here return, if I can ever learn to
fill the void as they say. 
Am
Grateful I can have this earth to
Em
Channel you in my hands
Am                   C      F
Feel your force in a waaaaaaay

And it would
