[Verse 1]
Realising a [Am]form out of stone
[G]Set hands moving
Roan shaped [Dm]his heart
Through his [G]working hands
[F]Work to mold his passion [G]into clay,
[Em]like[Am] the [G]sun[Dm]

[Verse 2]
[F]
In his [C]room, his lady
[F]She would dance and sing
[Dm]so c[C]ompletely
So be still he now cries

[F]Winter calls,[Dm]
he [Em]cries "Don't [G]deny [C]me!"[G]
For his [Am]lady, deep her [Dm]illness
Time has [G]caught her

In [F]the

[Am]still light of dawn,[Dm]
she [C]dies
[G]Helpless hands [Dm]soul revealing

[Verse 5]
[C]Like leaves we tou[G]ch we lea[Am]rn[C]

[Verse 6]
Now Roan, [C]no more tears
[Dm]Set to work [C]his strength
[G]So transformed [Dm]him
[C]Realising a form out [Dm]of stone, [C]his work
[G]So absorbed [Dm]him
Could she hear [C]him?
Could she [Dm]see him?
[G]All aglow was his room dazed
[Dm]in this light
He would [C]touch [Am]her
He would [Dm]hold her
[C]Laughing as they [G]danced
[F]Highest colors touching other[C]s

[Verse 7]
Did her eyes at [C]the turn of [Dm]the century[C]
[G]Tell me plainly
[C]Whe[Csus4]n we meet[C], how we'll love,
oh let life [G]so transform [Dm]me[C]

[Verse 8]
Like leaves [G]we touched we [Bb]danced
We [Dm]once knew [F]the story[G]

[E]As I kiss your fingers
We walk hands in the sun
[A]Mem[E]ories when we're young
Love lingers so

[Verse 10]
Was it sun through the haze
[A]That made all your loo[E]ks
As warm as moonlight?
As a pearl deep in your eye[A]s
Tears have flown [B]away[E]
All the same light
[B]Did

[Verse 11]
[E]her eyes at the [B]turn of the century
Tell me plainly
[E]When we meet how we'll look
As we smile time [B]will leave me clearly
