Am Dm Am E Am The shadows of the trees Breath upon your cheek Dm Music on water Am A beautiful daughter E Am A poem spoken into mist In the picture Joseph made Dm You rest on your last bed Am Your hair is dark and curled E Your eyes are closed Am I imagine Joseph reaching out Dm To touch you with his hand Am The artist who loves you E Am The genius and the man Dm You knew that you were leaving Am But not what you had done Dm Despairing, grieving Am E You did not know you'd won Dm A kind of immortality Am The best anyone can do E Am We read your words The shadows of the trees Am Breath upon your cheek Dm Music on water Am A beautiful daughter E Am A poem spoken into mist Your life so full of sadness Dm You tried to make it clear Am To weave words around E The mystery Am Death is all and nothing Dm No victory no defeat Am Your nightingale keeps singing E Am Sweet Dm You knew that you were leaving Am But not what you had done Dm Despairing, grieving Am E You did not know you'd won Dm A kind of immortality Am The best anyone can do E Am We read your words, words Dm Am And what I have learned from you E Am Is not easy to say Dm The shadows of the trees Am Breath upon your cheek Dm Music on water Am A beautiful daughter E Am A poem spoken into mist E Am A poem spoken into mist
