Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
Gm        C
Came the night a mist dissolved the trees
Cm     G      A           Am Eb G
And in the broken light colours fly, fading by
G        C
Pale and cold as figures fill the glade
Cm     G       A            G C G
Grey is the web they spin, on and on, and on and on
G      Gm     Cm       Gm
Through the flame still summer lingers on
Gm            Eb A
Though her pictures soon shatter

Chorus:
G  D
All, always the same
     Bm       D
But there appears in the shades of dawning
Em     G
Though your eyes are dim
N.C.         D
All of the pieces in the sky

Verse 2:
Gm        C
There was once a harvest in this land
Cm      G       A          Am Eb G
Reap from the turquoise sky, harlequin, harlequin
G          C
Dancing round, three children fill the glade
Cm       G        A                G C G
Theirs was the laughter in the winding stream, and in between
G     Gm    Cm      Gm
Close your door, the picture fades again
Gm          Eb  A
From the flames in the firelight


Chorus:
G  D
All, always the same
     Bm       D
But there appears in the shades of dawning
Em     G
Though your eyes are dim
N.C.         D
All of the pieces in the sky

G  D
All, all is not lost
     Bm       D
And light appears in the shades of dawning
Em    G
When your eyes can see
N.C.         D
Order the pieces, put them back, put them back
