Verse 1:

  A minorAm       FF      E minorEm      G+G         D MajorD     G+G     A minorAm
No sound of a dog bark, only distant hum of cars and wind and dry leaves falling


           FF          E minorEm      G+G
Where the light falls slant, she holds the river in her hands

November hits the ground, a blanket of yellow and brown

Find her by the river alone


       G+G   D MajorD      A minorAm

Stars above her, how they shone

Watching over

Up come a cool breeze


  D MajorD          G+G    A minorAm
The arched trees bend in closer watching


      A minorAm      FF          E minorEm
She let the wind run his fingers through her hair

She let the sun touch her skin

Young brown golden

Driving rain at night holds its breath under bridges


     G+G      D MajorD         G+G       A minorAm
The road hisses as he slows to leave the highway

A augmentedA necklace for a heavy sky on a windless night

Blue smoke in the backyard


E minorEm           G+G
Snaking high above the barn


   D MajorD        G+G    D MajorD
Cold blanket of stars pulls in closer


  A minorAm
The colder they are
