Verse 3
B
My love he breathed the air of kings
F#
Yet fell beneath his luck
B
And in his heart a yearning yet

Before his time time shook

All the gifts that God had gave

Gone to where all treasures laid

And where the raven flies

Verse 4
B
Oh there are places I agree
F#
Where I have yet to roam

The arctic sea where shadows
Haunt and moan

But none but sky
I have to go

Should I return to thee

Gone to where the feather flies

To all eternity
