DThe smell of man that now scents your wings
And Bmwhiff that brings
A cDhange in things
DBanished forever from the sacred nest
On your Bmsnow-white breast
I feel there's Dstill unrest
I said Ghey,        Emdarlin' one

Your time has come
GHey,   Emdarlin' one
            Ariff
Five Dhundred midnights since have passed
Since I Bmheld you fast
You were Dsafe at last
DWax burnt my finger like a clear blue flame
So Bmyoung and tame
I was to Dblame
N' I call your Gname, Emdarlin' one
                         Driff
Your time has come
I said Ghey, Emdarlin' one
Your tAime      has just beDgun

 Bm(Bm7?)
I cupped my hands around you
And I F#m7swore you would fly
My Bmtears fell through the dirt
     F#m7 (?)
As I heaved you to the sky
GHey, Emdarlin' one
Your Dtime has come
     Bm (?)
Your time has come
GHey, Emdarlin'

Hey, darlin' one more time has come
