0:18 [Verse 1]
Am         
Realising a form out of stone

G                 
Set hands moving

      G7        
Roan shaped his heart

G                  
Through his working hands                              Am

Am7              F             Am   Dm               
Work to mold his passion into clay, like the sun     

Am                                                    
In his room, his lady

                    Dm7         Am    
She would dance and sing           so completely 

  Am                      
So be still he now cries

            Dm7            G                      Am       Dm   Gsus4 G F
I have time,           oh let  clay transform thee so

        Am              Fmaj7
In the deep cold of night

                 Em7                Fmaj7
Winter calls, he cries "Don't deny me!"

           F              Dm
For his lady, deep her illness

         G
Time has caught her

              F          
And will for all reasons take her

 Am                 Dm              G
In the still light of dawn, she dies

G              Dm        Am
Helpless hands soul revealing

  C             G        Am   Dm
Like leaves we touch we learn

G                     Cmaj7
We once knew the story

           Gmaj7           Am7
As winter calls he will starve

         Fmaj7               F   Dm
All but to see the stone be life

[Verse 2]
    F                  Dm
Now Roan, no more tears

Dm                       G
Set to work his strength

          F
So transformed him

Am                    Dm7              G
Realising a form out of stone, his work

 G          Dm7 
So absorbed him

          Am         
Could she hear him?

          Dm            
Could she see him?

       G           
All aglow was his room dazed in this light

         Am          
He would touch her

           Asus4                
He would hold her

   G              
Laughing as they danced

 F                         Am
Highest colors touching others
[Chorus]
 Am                          G
Did her eyes at the turn of the century

             F
Tell me plainly

         Am             F                G              F
How we meet, how we'll love, oh let life so transform me

   C    G                  Bb
Like leaves we touched we danced

Bbmaj7    Dm        F  G
We once knew the story

Am        Em            Cmaj7
As autumn called and we both

          F                     Dm7 C  F  Am
Remembered all those many years ago

Am           C   Em7
I'm sure we know
[Solo Piano] Em D C Em D C Bm Bm7 D7 Em C D Bm D C Em D Am Em Am Esus2 Em D C Em C G D C Am A E B A E [Verse 3]
E                     A 
Was the sign with a touch

   B             A
As I kiss your fingers

E                    A
We walk hands in the sun

                    B          
Memories when we're young

      A      B   A
Love lingers so
B A E
 E           A
Was it sun through the haze

                   B
That made all your looks

                A
As warm as moonlight?

       E                A
As a pearl deep in your eyes

                  B
Tears have flown away

               A
All the same light
[Chorus]
Bsus4             
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
Tell me plainly
E 
When we meet how we'll look

      A           B                Bsus4
As we smile time will leave me clearly

E               B   A      D A
Like leaves we touch, we see

A   F#m  A        B
We will know the story

 Em7          A     C         E      E
As autumn calls we'll both remember

A                       B  E A Am7
All those many years ago
