Swan Upon Leda Piano Notes Hozier

A husband waits outside
A-F# F#ED GF#ED
A crying child pushes a child into the night
DDE E F#GF#ED DED
She was told he would come this time
DGF#F# DGF#F#D EDB-
Without leaving so much as a feather behind
DAF#EE DB-DD B-DED

To enact at last the perfect plan
DABA GF#ED
One more sweet boy to be butchered by men
F#EF#G F#DDB-

But the gateway to the world
B-A-GGF# F#F#EDC#
Was still outside the reach of him
A-F#F#F# F#GF#ED
Would never belong to angels
GGGF#F#E EEDC#
Had never belonged to men
