Summer Lightning

D Verse One D Em I was driving west D Through the Bighorn Mountains Bm A The hills were heavy with new-fallen snow Em And the sun-bright hills D Were dappled like a pony Em D I was driving hard, I had miles to go Em And a magpie flew D Across the mountain highway Bm It flashed and tumbled A Through the golden trees Em And I thought of you D And my heart was lifted Em D And floated with that magpie, on the morning breeze Em For where I go D You go with me Bm A Though the miles keep us apart Em D Your kisses on my lips, your face before me Em D And your gentle hand, always on my heart G D We are brief as a summer lightning A D We are swift as swallow's flight G D A Bm We are sparks that spiral upward in the darkness in the night G D We are frost upon a window A Bm We won't pass this way again Em A In the end only love remains Em, D Bm, D Em, D Em, D Verse Two D Em Tonight the harvest moon D Hangs across the valley Bm A I see the hills shine in its silvery light Em It's the same old moon D That shines upon you Em D It'll light my way until I'm by your side Em Well, who scattered these diamonds D Through the vault of heaven? Bm A Who drew the curve of the magpie's wing? Em Who shaped your face? D What made you love me? Em D Where is the spark of every living thing? Em Well, I guess I don't know D Don't care either Bm I know you love me A How could I not see? Em D And I am yours, now and forever Em D Til my lips fall silent and my eyes can't see G D We are brief as a summer lightning A D We are swift as swallow's flight G D A Bm We are sparks that spiral upward in the darkness in the night G D We are frost upon a window A Bm We won't pass this way again Em A In the end, dear, only love remains
