 Intro:

Am Am  G  Dm  Am   G     Am

 Verse 1:

Am
Realising a form out of stone
G
Set hands moving
G

Roan shaped his heart

Through his working hands
     G       C                      G              Dm        F        C
Work to mold his passion into clay, like the sun
C
In his room, his lady
                         Dm
She would dance and sing so completely
  C
So be still he now cries
                            Dm          Am       Dm    G
I have time, oh let clay transform thee so
Dm
In the deep cold of night
                         Em           G
Winter calls, he cries "Don't deny me!"
            Am              Dm
For his lady, deep her illness
         G
Time has caught her
                F
And will for all reasons take her
       Am                    Dm
In the still light of dawn, she dies
       G                Dm
Helpless hands soul revealing
     C        G        C
Like leaves we touch we learn
      Am          G     D
We once knew the story
      G   C     G
As winter calls he will starve
    Am      F               Dm
All but to see the stone be life

   Verse 2:
    F
Now Roan, no more tears
                        Dm
Set to work his strength
        G
So transformed him
Dm               C
Realising a form out of stone, his work
 G
So absorbed him
F           Dm
Could she hear him?

Could she see him?
    G
All aglow was his room dazed in this light
 F            Am
He would touch her

He would hold her
D              C
Laughing as they danced
 F
Highest colors touching others

  Chorus:

  C             Am        G
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
  Dm       C
Tell me plainly

When we meet, how we'll love, oh let life so transform me
  C                    G
Like leaves we touched we danced
Bb        Dm      F
We once knew the story

              Am
As autumn called and we both
          Em     Cm  F                   Dm
Remembered all those many years ago
 F          C
I'm sure we know

 Verse 3:

  F
Was the sign with a touch
                   Dm
As I kiss your fingers
     G        Dm
We walk hands in the sun
C             G
Memories when we're young
G
Love lingers so

Was it sun through the haze
   F             Am
That made all your looks

As warm as moonlight?
 D              C
As a pearl deep in your eyes
 F
Tears have flown away
      G
All the same light

 Chorus:

  C             Am        G
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
  Dm       C
Tell me plainly
F           C
When we meet how we'll look
      G                    C
As we smile time will leave me clearly
E                     C#m
Like leaves we touch, we see
D  E     F#m         G#m
We will know the story
 A      B     E      G#m          C  G
As autumn calls we'll both remember
A                       B
All those many years ago
