[Verse]

Dm                          C
Two island swans, mated for life
Dm                                  C               Dm
    his faithful heart would not consider any other wife
Dm                                                   C
For three years peaceful joy midst the rushes of the pond
Dm                                     C               Dm
Proud and gentle was the loving of the last two island swans


[Verse]
Dm                                                C
Their love was like a circle, no beginning and no end
Dm                          C                 Dm
With his lady by his side a treasure and best friend
Dm                                                C
The pond was all so peaceful in the rising of the sun
Dm                                        C               Dm
Young and free at the island breeze their life had just begun


[Verse]
Dm                                                     C
'Til a dread day in November when the searing cold did start
Dm                                         C                 G
Stalked the hunter with his bow and put an arrow through her heart
Dm                                                C
Husband come to my side let your feathers warm my pain
Dm                              C             Dm
I feel I will not spend another day with you again


[Chorus]
        F    C     Dm
And the cold winds blow
       F         C         Am
He was brave but he's laid low
       Dm          C       Dm
By her body in the isle of mist
                            C    Dm
I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss

[Verse]
Dm                                                C
Of swans the people talk of only one in this days tide
             Dm                                 C             Dm
Though they brought him twenty ladies he would take no other bride
Dm                                                     C
They say he will not move from the place where she did fall
Dm                                   C                 Dm
Once so proud he's beaten now and he will not speak at all


[Chorus]
        F    C     Dm
And the cold winds blow
       F         C         Am
He was brave but he's laid low
Dm                 C       Dm
By her body in the isle of mist
                            C    Dm
I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss
