Verse

D                       A7
  Lady weeping at the crossroads, 
Bm                      F#7
   Would you meet your love 
G     Gm                D          Bm
  In twilight with his greyhounds, 
G          Gm             D     A7
  And the hawk upon his glove? 

D                              A7
  Bribe the bird then on the branches, 
Bm                   F#7
   Bribe them to be dumb, 
G           Gm              D     Bm
  Stare the hot sun out of heaven 
G          Gm         D
  That the night may come. 

Chorus

C#m          F#7                Bm
    Starless are the nights of travel, 
                  Em
Bleak the winter wind; 
          A            D
Run with terror all before you 
              C#m
And regret behind. 
       F#7              Bm
Run until  you hear the ocean's 
             Em
Everlasting cry; 
            A              D
Deep though it may be and bitter 
                  F#7
You must drink it dry, 
          A7
Drink it dry 

Verse

D - A7 - Bm - F#7
G - Gm - D - Bm
G - Gm - D

Wear out patience in the lowest 
Dungeons of the sea, 
Searching through the stranded shipwrecks 
For the golden key, 

Push on to the world's end, pay the 
Dread guard with a kiss 
Cross the rotten bridge that totters 
Over the abyss. 

Chorus

C#m - F#7 - Bm
Em - A - D
C#m - F#7 - Bm
Em - A - D
F#7 - A7

There stands the deserted castle 
Ready to explore; 
Enter, climb the marble staircase, 
Open the locked door. 

Cross the silent empty ballroom 
Doubt and anger past; 
Blow the cobwebs from the mirror, 
See yourself at last. 

Verse

D - A7 - Bm - F#7
G - Gm - D - Bm
G - Gm - D

Put your hand behind the wainscot, 
You have done your part; 
Find the penknife there and plunge it 
Into your false heart
