E             A
I came out from under her warm sheets
E          A
Into the brisk late October
E        A
If only for one last hope
E                A
I wanted my time with you to be over

E            A
I’m staring up into the sky
E               A
While all the rain is pouring down
E           A
I’m reaching out for your help
E            A
But evil beings hold me backwards

F#              A
All shapes and shadows move in and out
  E        A
And hover around my head
F#         A
Voices arrive and disappear
     E    A
I want to talk to them

F#             A
Darkness disintegrates, I’m rising
  E        A
I’m rising toward a light
  G#             B     F# A E  A
A light leading over hills and meadows


E           A
I’ve risen up from the dead
E             A
With the burning leaves of autumn
E        A
If only for one last chance
E               A
That all of whom have been defeated

E             A
To put on my father’s wool coat
E                  A
To smell my mother’s fragrances and perfumes
E               A
To find my young brothers and sisters
E             A
To never leave or let them go

F#         A
Houses adorned so beautifully
  E        A
The Marin headlands song
   F#           A
Lost verses well up my eyes and ears
  E       A
The lone mandolin strums


F#        A
On Tamalpais warm spring
  E      A
The many places we
 G#            B     F# A E A
Lay down in sleepy hidden shadows

     E
I see you well and clear
      F#
Deep in the moonlight, dear
       E                  A
Your radiant august eyes, they are the suns that rise
       E                 A  E A B A E A
They are the light that guides, and these lost verses

E            A
I came up from under the ocean
E          A
Evaporated sea salt water
 E       A
A mist above the skyline
E                A
I haunt the streets of San Francisco

E               A
Watch over loved ones and old friends
E                  A
I see them through their living room windows
E          A
Shaken by fear and worries
E                  A
I want them to know how I love them so

F#           A
Foghorns would sound in waking
   E      A
Is it my voice you hear?
F#          A
Footsteps are moving across the floor
    E    A
And you know I’m here

F#            A
The afternoon carries up from the hills
      E     A
And you are well and near
  G#          B   F# A E A
To fall into the light I follow

E                 F#
I feel you oh so near when morning doves appear
  E                A
And ghosts of April ring, echo the refrain
   E
Soon finding a place
       A     B
In these lost verses

        E            B
They fill the foggy day, they hide the hills away
      A
That steal our time
       E               A
They are the picturesque night, the casting city lights
      E            A   B E A B A E A
On the bay, flowing into the ocean glowing
