Houses Judy Collins
G C9 D
You have many houses, one for every season
G C9 D
Mountains in your windows, violets in your hand
Em7 C9 D
Through your English meadows your blue-eyed horses wander
C9 D
You're in Colorado for the spring
G C9 D
When the winter finds you, you fly to where it's summer
G C9 D
Rooms that face the ocean, moonlight on your bed
Em7 C9 D
Mermaids swift as dolphins paint the air with diamonds
C9 D
You are like a seagull as you said
C G
Why do you fly bright feathered sometimes in my dreams?
Bb C
The shadows of your wings fall over my face
Bb C
I can feel no air, I can find no peace
Bb C
Brides in black ribbons, witches in white
Bb C G
Fly in through windows, fly out through the night
C G
Why do I think I'm dying sometimes in my dreams
Bb C
I see myself a child running through the trees
Bb C
Searching for myself, looking for my life
Bb C
Looking everywhere crawling on my knees
Bb C g
I cannot see the leaves, I cannot see the light
Em7 D
Then I see you walking just beyond the forest
Em7 D
Walking very quickly, walking by yourself
Em7 D
Your shoes are silver, your coat is made of velvet
Em7 D
Your eyes are shining, your voice is sweet and clear
C D
"Come on", you say, "Come with me, I'm going to the castle"
C D
All the bells are ringing, the weddings have begun
C D
But I can only stand here, I cannot move to follow
C C9 D
I'm burning in the shadows and freezing in the sun
G C9 D
There are people with you living in your houses
G C9 D
People from your childhood who remember how you were
Em7 C9 D
You were always flying, nightingale of sorry
C9 D C
Singing bird with rainbows on your wings
