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
