[Verse 1]
AFull moon rising on an Gearly Dfrost
I'm Adripping from the rivers I Gnever meant to Dcross
But I Alike the things I'm learning more than Ganything I've Dlost
[Chorus 1]
And Aoh I have lost
F#Oh I have Bmlost
ABut not for Gnothing
ANever for Dnothing
[Verse 2]
Like a Asparrow in Paris Gperched on a Drung
To the Aalleys of London and her Gunderground Dlungs
For Acopper and bread and a Gbeggars good Dthumb
[Chorus 3]
AOh I have sung
F#Oh I have Bmsung
ABut not for Gnothing
ANever for Dnothing

ARoots and rings are a Gpromise of Dtrees
But I'll Ahold you as dear as the Gshore holds the Dsea
And for Ayou, pretty baby, my Gloving is Dfree
[Chorus 4]
My Aloving is free
My F#loving is Bmfree
ABut not for Gnothing
ANever for Dnothing
[Coda]
AFull moon rising on an Gearly Dfrost...
