[Intro]
D Em D Em
D Em D Em
[Verse]
D Oh the moon hangs down G Like some old evening gown A D Forgotten by some lovely southern maiden
Oh the stars are her tears
Em And the sky a skin of years A D Em That she has most graciously given
[Instrumental]
D Em
[Verse]
D Now who am I G To think that she might bat an eye A D At my heart that lay so dangerously open
'Neath the sweet magnolia tree
Em The world's a fragrant memory A D And the lady of the night has finally spoken
[Chorus]
Bm G She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows Bm A And you drift from place to place and you never know G D Well is it here that I will stay? A Bm Child, you must be on your way G A D Em For you are now, but you know nothing of your sorrow
[Instrumental]
D Em
[Verse]
D So I hover in the breath G Between the birthday and the death A D And the hummingbird, he hovers o're the flower
Though the end is just a guest
Em From one moment to the next A D I keep thinking there will be a final hour
[Chorus]
Bm G She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows Bm A And you drift from place to place and you never know G D Well is it here that I will stay? A Bm Child, you must be on your way G A D For you are now, but you know nothing of tomorrow
[Post-Chorus]
Bm G She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows Bm A And you drift from place to place and you never know G D Well is it here that I will stay? A Bm Child, you must be on your way
