Cynthia Summers - Words (song For Keats)
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
Am Dm Am E Am
[Chorus]
The shadows of the trees
Breath upon your cheek
Dm
Music on water
Am
A beautiful daughter
E Am
A poem spoken into mist
[Verse 1]
In the picture Joseph made
Dm
You rest on your last bed
Am
Your hair is dark and curled
E
Your eyes are closed
Am
I imagine Joseph reaching out
Dm
To touch you with his hand
Am
The artist who loves you
E Am
The genius and the man
[Verse 2]
Dm
You knew that you were leaving
Am
But not what you had done
Dm
Despairing, grieving
Am E
You did not know you'd won
Dm
A kind of immortality
Am
The best anyone can do
E Am
We read your words
[Chorus]
The shadows of the trees
Am
Breath upon your cheek
Dm
Music on water
Am
A beautiful daughter
E Am
A poem spoken into mist
[Verse 3]
Your life so full of sadness
Dm
You tried to make it clear
Am
To weave words around
E
The mystery
Am
Death is all and nothing
Dm
No victory no defeat
Am
Your nightingale keeps singing
E Am
Sweet
[Verse 4]
Dm
You knew that you were leaving
Am
But not what you had done
Dm
Despairing, grieving
Am E
You did not know you'd won
Dm
A kind of immortality
Am
The best anyone can do
E Am
We read your words, words
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And what I have learned from you
E Am
Is not easy to say
Dm
The shadows of the trees
Am
Breath upon your cheek
Dm
Music on water
Am
A beautiful daughter
E Am
A poem spoken into mist
E Am
A poem spoken into mist
