Strings In The Earth And Air

 A#m



[Verse]

A#m            F

Strings in the earth and air

C#         G#

Make music sweet

A#m        F#

Strings by the river

D#        F

Where the willows meet



Cm            G

There’s music along the river

G#           D#

For love wanders there

Fm           A#

Pale flowers on his mantle

D#             F

Dark leaves on his hair



A#m         F

All softly playing

C#           G#

With head to the music bent

A#m           F#

And fingers straying

D#      F

Upon an instrument

[Solo]

Cm G G# D#

Fm A# D# F



[Verse]

A#m          F

Twilight turns from amethyst

C#           G#

To deep and deeper blue

A#m                    F#

The lamps fills with a pale green glow

D#          F

The trees of the avenue



Cm            G

The old piano plays an air

G#          D#

Sedate and slow and gay

Fm                 A#

She bends upon the yellow keys

D#          F

Her head inclines this way



A#m           F

Shy thought and grave wide eyes

    C#               G#

And hands that wonder as they rest

     A#m             F#

The twilight turns to darker blue

D#          F
