E
Among the trees and by the river
B
lying there, my darling shivers
A
In her sleep she dreams of winter
E
whiter than her breast.

E
I feel her heart move through her chest
B
warm and steady as she rests.
A
Hear water ebbing with her breath
E
lulling me to sleep.

E B A

E
Light from a source unseen reflected
B
by the moon on rocks collected
A
near our bodies unexpected
E
Pulls us from out dreams.

E
We turn onto our backs and see
B
a streak of light above the trees
A
and lie here on our bed of leaves
E
listening to each other breath.

B

A               B
And here in the sky
       E                A
lights flash before our eyes
  A         B
I feel your warm hand
E             A
slipping into mine
A                 B
and we lay and we wonder when
E           A
will I come around?

E  B A    B    A               E
Do I know what you are feeling now?

E
This morning we drove out of town
B
into the hills and looking down
A
saw the ocean all around
E
as far as we could see.

E
Continued on into the clouds
B
through bursts of rain

brief and loud
A
to silent mountains

tall and proud
E
Here is where we lay.

B

A               B
And here in the sky
       E                A
lights flash before our eyes
  A         B
I feel your warm hand
E             A
slipping into mine
       A          B
and we lay and we wonder when
E           A
Will I come around?

E  B A    B    A       B
Do I know what you are feeling
E    B  A  B    A  B   E
here on neutral ground?
