Girl sleeping on a mansion roof

Under a wintery sky

Water pouring on her skin

A thief on a horse descends

And the sky was full of crows 
                      D/F#      C

She just closed her heart and rose

And whither the soul of this creature?

Tell me the story again 
                             D/F# 
Of scarves and songs and the skin of space
