[Intro]
Am D x2
[Verse 1]
Am F Em G D G Am
No sound of a dog bark, only distant hum of cars and wind and dry leaves falling
F Em G
Where the light falls slant, she holds the river in her hands
D Dm Am
November hits the ground, a blanket of yellow and brown
F Em G
The rushing of the water drowns out birdsong and highway sound
Dm Am
She's wringing out sun-drenched hair
[Chorus 1]
G D Am
Find her by the river alone
G D Am
She turns to water, he turns to stone
C G Am
Stars above her, how they shone
G
Watching over
[Instrumental]
Am D x2
[Verse 2]
Am F Em
The current pulls at her bare feet and her legs
G
Up come a cool breeze
D G Am
The arched trees bend in closer watching
Am F Em
She let the wind run his fingers through her hair
G Am
She let the sun touch her skin
D Am
Young brown golden
[Chorus 2]
G D Am
He found her by the river alone
G D Am
She turned to water, he turned to stone
C G Am
Stars above her, how they shone
G
Watching over
[Instrumental]
D Am F Em G D G Am
[Verse 3]
Am F Em
Driving rain at night holds its breath under bridges
G D G Am
The road hisses as he slows to leave the highway
F Em G
Streetlights shine on power lines, rain hangs like diamonds
D Am
A necklace for a heavy sky on a windless night
[Chorus 2]
G D Am
He found her by the river alone
G D Am
She turned to water, he turned to stone
C G Am
Stars above her, how they shone
G
Watching over
[Verse 4]
Am F
Blue smoke in the backyard
Em G
Snaking high above the barn
D G D
Cold blanket of stars pulls in closer
Am
The colder they are
[Outro]
D Am
