This lullaby was written, appropriately enough, on a late night where Fyfe
couldn't sleep for the tune waltzing around his head. The fiendishly unexpected Am
in the verse (instead of something sane, like F or C) gives it its peculiar quality.
Gm Bb Am D
Firebird come into me tonight
Stay awake with me through this dark night
We can ride til the morning light
Eb D Bb C
On a bicycle made for two
Eb D Gm
On a bicycle made for two

Gm Bb Am D
Hush for the baby he's asleep in the hay
And if we should wake him we'll be turned stony grey
Silence is golden and it's ours today
Eb D Bb C
On a bicycle made for two
Eb D Gm
On a bicycle made for two
Eb
Some come higher, some come low
Bb
Some come demon-faced, some come slow
Eb C
Some come beautiful, helpless and warm
F Cm Eb D
like the first drop of water after the storm
Instr - verse chords
Firebird stay with me tonight
All the world is asleep
The world is alright
And as long as you're mine we can conquer light
On a bicycle made for two
On a bicycle made for two
