[Intro]
[Am] [G] [Dm] [Am] [G] [Am] [G7] [Am] [F] [Dsus2] [G] [Cmaj7] [Am]
[Am]Realising a form [G]out of stone,
[Dm]Set hands moving.
[Am]Roan shaped [G]his heart,
[Am]Through his [G7]working hands.
[Am]Worked to mold [F]his passion into clay,
[Dsus2]Like the sun.
[G]In his [G7]room, his lady,
[G]She would dance [Am7]and sing so completely.
[F]"So be still," [Am]he now cries,
[Dm]"I have time, oh [Am]let clay transform thee so."
[Dm7]♪
[Am]In the deep [Dm7]cold of night,
[G]Winter calls, he [Am]cries "Don't deny me!"
[Dm]For his lady, [Gsus4]deep her illness.
[G]Time has [F]caught her,
[Am]And will for [Fmaj7]all reasons take her.
[Em7]In the still light [Fmaj7]of dawn, she dies.
[F]Helpless hands [Dm]soul revealing.
[G]Like leaves we [F]touch, we learn.
[Am]We once [Dm]knew the story.
[G]As winter calls [Dm]he will starve,
[Am]All but to see [C]the stone be life.
[G]♪
[Am]Now Roan, [Dm]no more tears.
[G]Set to [Cmaj7]work his strength,
[Gmaj7]So transformed him.
[Am7]Realizing a form [Fmaj7]out of stone,
[F]His work [Dm]so absorbed him.
[Dm7]Could she [C]hear him?
[Gsus4]Could she [G7]see him?
[G]All aglow [F]was his room,
[Dm7]Dazed in [C]this light.
[Gsus4]He would [G7]touch her,
[G]He would [F]hold her.
[G]Laughing as [G7]they danced,
[G]Highest colors [Am7]touching others.
[F]Did her eyes at [Am]the turn of the century,
[Dm]Tell me plainly.
[Am]How we'll meet, [Dm7]how we'll love,
[Am]Oh, let life [Dm7]so transform me.
[G]Like leaves we [Am]touch, we dance.
[Dm]We once [Gsus4]knew the story.
[G]As autumn called [F]and we both,
[Am]Remembered all those [Fmaj7]many years ago.
[Em7]I'm sure [Fmaj7]we know.
[F]♪
[Dm]Was the sign in [G]the day with a touch,
[F]As I [Am]kiss your fingers.
[Dm]We walk hands [G]in the sun,
[Dm]Memories when [Am]we're young,
[C]Love lingers so.
[G]♪
[Am]Was it sun [Dm]through the haze,
[G]That made [Cmaj7]all your looks,
[Gmaj7]As warm [Am7]as moonlight?
[Fmaj7]As a pearl [F]deep your eyes,
[Dm]Tears have [Dm7]flown away,
[C]All the [Gsus4]same light.
[G7]Did her eyes at [G]the turn of the century,
[F]Tell me plainly.
[Dm7]When we meet, [C]how we'll look,
[Gsus4]As we smile time [G7]will leave me clearly.
[G]Like leaves we [F]touch, we see,
[G]We will [G7]know the story.
[G]As autumn calls [Am7]we'll both remember,
[F]All those [Am]many years ago.
