Soft Blow The Summer Winds Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]We are alone, one[C] hil[G]ltop clo[C]ser to the sun,
and yet [G]perhaps one moment from eternity.
Quickly almost as in prayer our hands meet,
and [C]yet these hands [G]are not our [Em]hands, [G]but
prophets join to oracle the end,
[C]and [G]it's almost here.
Sally, if you [F]must believe while I am gone,
believe in [C]rain an[G]d children.
[C]Name this hillside tomorrow an[F]
d meet me [C]here in memory.
Take what [F]remnants of
our dreams are left
and cherish them [C]for my return.
And last of all,
Sally, for always,
[G]love [Cm]me.
[G]Things end.
[C]It is the [G]nature of the universe.
Eiffel
Towers twist and [C]fracture.
Nor is there
a stay of execution [G]for the leaves
at autumn's end.
She cannot think of him as dead,
and so
she thinks of him as summer.
She will not mourn him.
He is living still.
[Ab]She will not call [G]him
dead, nor will she [F]gather small
mementos and start [G]labeling them him.
[C]For
Jamie was always
mourning to [G]her, without its tired grief,
[F]its acrid taste, and utter lack of reason.
[Am]And she [F]has seen the sun again.
It blinds her, though [G]she hides her [Ebm]eyes.
[G]Now it is
more as if her [F]flesh were marble,
[Ab]animated by [F]a w[Ab]ill to die.
She shall not die,
but will have come to know death bet[Ab]ter.[Db][Ebm]
[Em]Soft [Cb]blow [Ebm]the su[Db]m mer winds, whe[Ebm]re
Jam[Cb]ie li[Ebm]es,
[Db]he w[Cb]on't have [Ebm]to fight again[Db].
[Ebm]Sally, [Db]don't you cry[Ebm]
[Db]He w[Ebm]on't have to fight a[Fm]gain[Db]
[Ebm]Sally, [Db]don't you [E]cry[Bb][Bbm][Ebm]
Soft blow the summer [Db]winds[F] w[Ebm]here
Jamie [Db]lies,
[Ebm]she won't have to [Db]fight again,
Jamie's [Ebm]dead.
[F]Sally [Ab]is d[Bbm]ead.[Ebm][Db]
