Remembering Marie A

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

               C                   
And since that day, so many moons 
  C
in silence
     F                           
Have swum across the sky and gone 
   C
below
               Am              
The plum trees surely have been 
             Dm
chopped for firewood
           G                       
And if you ask, how does that love 
     C
seem now
         F                  
I must admit, I really can't 
   C
remember
         Am                        
Though I know what you are trying 
  Dm
to say
              G                    
But what that face was like, I know
    Dm
 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                    
But for the cloud that floated in 
     C
the sky
            Am                     
I know that still and shall forever
 Dm
 know it
             G                     
It was quite white and moved in 
  C
very high
          F                        
It may be that the plum trees still
     C
 are blooming
              Am                   
That woman's seventh child may now 
   Dm
be there
             G                     
And yet that cloud had only bloomed
     Dm
 for moments
       G
When I looked up
                   C
It vanished on the air.
