Echo

G G Em F# G D G B C C Em F# G B C D Em D C D G G G F# Em F# G Well I try to close my eyes, clear my mind, and just listen to the wildflowers growing D G C But such whispers on the breeze, they don't come easy now over all this noise Em F# G C D I spent my youth among the pines, they used to sing a tune so fine Em D C D G And the wind moved like an echo, carrying their voices G Em F# G But I saw it in a dream, monuments of trees as the air we breathed turned our lungs to dust D G C And the redwoods so tall, in all their awe, began to rust Em F# G B C D With no bend and sway at all, that ancient dance was lost Em D C D G And the wind moved like an echo, with a sigh in every gust G G F# Em F# G D G C C Em F# G C D Em D C D G G Bm C G D Well someday I hope to find that land of honey wine where the coffee grows on the white oak trees Am Em C And those sugar-coated mountains in the spring begin to melt into the sweetest streams Em F# G C D Where each night the starlight and the sea together form eternity Em D C D G And the wind moves like an echo as the world drops off to sleep
