[Verse 1]
D                    Gmaj7
I was singing like a bird
D                     Gmaj7
From my porch just to hear
D            Gmaj7       D
My own voice echo in the canyon
     G            G#11
When she appeared before me
G                  G#11
Protected from the cold
G                A           D     Dsus4
Ringing with the echo in her heart
D                    Gmaj7
She walked up to the porch
      D               Gmaj7
And I sang a good bit further
D             Gmaj7        D
Until we both sat there in silence
  G               G#11
I asked her to my living room
  G                  G#11
A place where we can warm our bones
    G              A             D      Dsus4
She said, but I am warmed by the singing
    D             Gmaj7
And I can hear my husbandman
D                  Gmaj7
Returning from his labor
    D         Gmaj7       D
And I have no food on the table
   G                 G#11
As quick as she came earlier
G                    G#11
She went back to the forest
G               A            D   Dsus4
With a trail of roses behind her

[Verse 2]
   D               Gmaj7
It snowed for many weeks
D                Gmaj7
Until I couldn't see the forest
        D         Gmaj7          D
And the blush had faded from the roses
    G                  G#11
And while it dropped I worked a lot
   G               G#11
To gather wood and keep it hot
    G         A             D      Dsus4
And clear the porch off for singing
       D                       Gmaj7
It was brighter than the other nights
    D                    Gmaj7
The snow was filled with moonlight
      D               Gmaj7  D
There was not a sound in the canyon
   G             G#11
So I sang softly my old song
G              G#11
Building for a time so long
G             A                    D      Dsus4
Until my echo traveled through the forest
    D                      Gmaj7
And there she was standing there
    D                       Gmaj7
The moonlight in her auburn hair
D          Gmaj7              D
Completely protected from the cold
    G             G#11
And all about her in the snow
     G       G#11
Ruby red and black as coal
G         A                    D   Dsus4
Roses had blossomed all around her
