Cynthia Summers - Words (song For Keats)



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
