Gm
Who's there knocking at my window?
                             Bb
The Owl and the Dead boy
                                          F
This night whispers my name
All the dying children

Gm
Virgin snow beneath my feet
                                      Bb
Painting the world in white
                                    F
I tread the way and lose myself into a tale

Gm
Come hell or high water, my search will go on
F                                                Eb
Clayborn voyage without an end

Gm                          Eb
A nightingale in a golden cage
            F                              Gm
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Gm                                          Eb
Come someone, make my heavy heart light
           F                               Gm
Come undone, bring me back to life

Gm                          Eb
A nightingale in a golden cage
            F                              Gm
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Gm                                          Eb
Come someone, make my heavy heart light
     F                         Gm
It all starts with a lullaby

Dm......

Gm
Journey homeward bound
       Eb                 F
A sound of a dolphin calling
Gm
Tearing off the mask of man
       Eb              F
The Tower my sole guide

Gm
This is who I am
Eb            F
Escapist, paradise seeker
Gm
Farewell now, time to fly
            Eb                             F
Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies

Gm.....F
