ESpirit of my silence I can Ahear you, but I'm afraid to be Bnear you
And I don't F#mknow wEhere to beAgin

EChimney swift that finds me be my Akeeper, silhouette of the cBedar
What is that F#msong you Esing for the dAead
What is that F#msong you Esing for the dAead     
I see the signal searchlight sBtrike me, in the F#mwindow Eof my AroomE  
Well I got nothing to F#mproveE  A  
Well I got nothing to F#mprove
