Remembering Marie A

         C                         C
It was a day in that blue month september
         F                              C
Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade
           Am
I held her there
                     Dm
My love, so pale and silent
          G                          C
As if she were a dream that must not fade
         F                      C
Above us in the summer shinning heaven
            Am                          Dm
There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon
             G                    Dm
It was quite white and very high above us
              G
Then I looked up
                      C
And found that it had gone

And since that day, so many moons in silence
     F                              C
Have swum across the sky and gone below
               Am                           Dm
The plum trees surely have been chopped for firewood
           G                            C
And if you ask, how does that love seem now
         F                     C
I must admit, I really can't remember
         Am                          Dm
Though I know what you are trying to say
              G                        Dm
But what that face was like, I know no longer
       G                        C
I only know I kissed it on that day


           C                   C
As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it
            F                         C
But for the cloud that floated in the sky
            Am                      Dm
I know that still and shall forever know it
             G                       C
It was quite white and moved in very high
          F                             C
It may be that the plum trees still are blooming
              Am                      Dm
That woman's seventh child may now be there
             G                          Dm
And yet that cloud had only bloomed for moments
       G
When I looked up
                   C
It vanished on the air.
