A           D             A                   D
To capture for a lifetime what in moments catches on
A           D             F#                  E 
To put to paper what it was about that song 
F#          E             A                    D
Homemade magnetic tapes for all the people that you love
F#          E             A                    D                     E
For purity, or bravery, or grace, or just because that’s what a heart does
D
The echoes encompassing us!

   A              D              A               D
I feel a strange prehension that is much bigger than me
A                 D             F#               E
    A shadow falls ahead so far I fail to see 
  F#              E            A                    D
And so at times I’d like a map to what I cannot comprehend 
   F#          E               A                 D
But infinite cartographer, your trusted magic pen 
          A               D               E
Can only ink against the edge of understanding! 
         A                D               E
Yeah, you always draw me on along, questions compounding


      A          D              A                D
But family and friends their thoughts therein will interject 
         A           D            F#              E
And, oh, to feel the strength in all the places they connect 
        F#              E              A                   D
There’s time’s we’ve spoken cryptically and times we’ve been direct
          F#          E             A                   D
Sometimes we speak so cyclically, sometimes just hold our breath and see 
        A             D             E
that presence sets the stage for conversation! 
        A             D              E
Or simply says what it must say with its intention! 
        

(A, D)

then play:
(A, D, F#, E, F#, E)




A                                   D
And so we start to feel we shoudn’t be so scared
     A                F#             E
We see this understanding as the only thing that’s there
            F#             E             A                 D
There’s feelings you must overcome, and feelings you must use, 
          F#              E               A                D
And strengthened by a timeless love that you must never lose 

 

                  A                   D               E
It’s born of ancestry and poetry and chemistry! 
     A                     D                 E
Horizon lines and volume and infinity! 


(A, D)

A           D             A              D
     For now we focus on whatever comes to mind 
A             D                 F#             E
    A slow progression, though a tender one, we find 
       F#          E                  A            D
The sun against a face some hot Ohio afternoon
    F#             E            A             D
A timeless sense of place among the relics in my room
          A             D                E
A low hanging amber melon of a moon. 
             A            D              E             A
We can stop and sleep and plan the next day soon.
