[Verse]
Dm                           F     
There in the deepest well of dreams
         Dm          
Echoed a distant song
                   Am            
I hearkened to the hallowed voice
F                    Dm   
Stirred from ageless sleep
        Dm                       
Through this barren soil you came
F              Dm    
Sweet scent of spring
                        Am      
Came and cast the earth in bloom
F                  Dm
Lent your light to me

A tale of marred souls
Bm Am      Em             
I  cry for consumed hearts
C                  
And springs forever
Am   Em Bm7           Em             
Gone I  I sing with a shattered voice
C             Am      Bm   
I I sing with a heavy heart
                 Em        C    G   
The light of sun and stars will fade

         Em     Bm A                Em  
And moon covers ■  ■ There once was time
       Bm           A        
When I resounded by your side
               Em  
There once was time
       Bm             A         Am
When I trembled under your eyes ■

Em D                   G      Am  
■  What do I hear when you're gone
Em         D             Am
The wind's harrowing cry ■ 


[Chorus]
Em D                   Am         
■  What do I hear when you're gone
Em             D           G    
The sighing of the languid grief
D             Am
■ Cold creeps in
Em                D   
Silver crowns the land
                      Am 
Long are the evenings now
Em                D     
Grave the guilt's weight
                   Am           C   Em       G   D
Stars shriek their emptiness in the darkling sky ■
                       Am     Em          Am   
All the world is but a barrow shrouded in white
Em D                   Am         
■  What do I hear when you're gone
