throughout\r\nThe sun, red and enormous, began to sink into the western sky. and simultaneously the [/tab]\r\nmoon began to rise on the other side of the river with its own glorious shade of red,\r\ncoming up out of\r\nTrees like a russet firebird. the sun and the moon seem to acknowledge each other and\r\nthey moved in both apposition and concordance in a breath taking dance of light across the\r\noaks and the palm\r\n\r\nFather watched it and I thought he would cry again. he had returned to the sea, and his\r\nheart was a low country heart.\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 1]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]
