The Saddest Thing

Am
I have seen the crimson sunset
G               Dm           Am  
casting shadows on a lonely 
Dm  Am
beach.
Am
I have witnessed stars of nighttime
G                  Dm             
light their silver patterns out of
 Am  Dm  Am
 reach.

       Dm                        E
I have watched the soaring eagle fly
                         Am  Dm  Am
through blue and endless skies.
       Dm                          
I have felt the look of love shine 
E
in
                        Am  Dm  Am
your dark and searching eyes.

But the saddest thing I've ever seen
                   Am    Dm  Am
was when you walked away.

Am
I have heard the roar of thunder
G             Dm            Am  
rip across a stormy summer 
Dm  Am
night.
Am
I have watched those white and 
weightless
G                Dm            Am
clouds of morning sail out of 
  Dm  Am
sight.

Dm                                
I have felt most cherished moments
  E
 slipping
                              Am  
through the gripping hands of 
Dm  Am
hope.
Dm                           
I have heard the violent final 
     E
snapping
                           Am  Dm  
of the last strand of the rope.
Am
