Cm
CmWhat drives us on?
What dAbrives us on?
I Cmleft something of mFmyself in you
GmFourscore, twenty, thAbirty
CmIn your body and iFmn your flesh
GmIn your vault of sAbkin
I was noCmthing for you
But the sFmhadow of anGmother love
That one dAbay for you
Would sCmhift the skies
To paFmstures blue
Streaked with pGmassing and lAboss
CmTortoise green iFmn my eyes
From the Gmmoss of my past
AbYou arise
And lCmightly then I Fmsaw you smile
With iGmvory throat and iAbvory eyes
At nCmight I catch you bFmefore I sleep
And Gmif I died beAbfore I wake
I pCmrayed that you my hFmeart might keep
I cGmannot hold your tuAbnneled eyes
CmNear my heart aFmny longer
GmAll this love is nAbothing truly:
CmMist of moons' breath
FmGrit of evening
The gGmrass was green (I nAbow recall)
CmBefore my own pFmarticular fall
I sGmaw we were both really
AbMasks on nothing
(The mCmoonlight sweeping over nFmorthern beaches)
All the tGmrees stand stripped
Just siAblhouettes of memories
At nCmight I have started to drFmeam of you:
Your eGmyes are wide
And shot tAbhrough with sea Cmblue
   Fm     Gm     Ab    Cmx22

What drives us on?

Cm Fm

I left something of myself in you

Gm Ab

Fourscore, twenty, thirty

Cm Fm

In your body and in your flesh

Gm Ab

In your vault of skin

I was nothing for you

Fm Gm

But the shadow of another love

That one day for you

Would shift the skies

To pastures blue

Gm Ab

Streaked with passing and loss

Cm Fm

Tortoise green in my eyes

From the moss of my past

You arise

Cm Fm

And lightly then I saw you smile

Gm Ab

With ivory throat and ivory eyes

Cm Fm

At night I catch you before I sleep

Gm Ab

And if I died before I wake

Cm Fm

I prayed that you my heart might keep

Gm Ab

I cannot hold your tunneled eyes

Cm Fm

Near my heart any longer

Gm Ab

All this love is nothing truly:

Mist of moons' breath

Grit of evening

Gm Ab

The grass was green (I now recall)

Cm Fm

Before my own particular fall

I saw we were both really

Masks on nothing

Cm Fm

(The moonlight sweeping over northern beaches)

All the trees stand stripped

Just silhouettes of memories

Cm Fm

At night I have started to dream of you:

Your eyes are wide

Ab Cm

And shot through with sea blue

Fm Gm Ab Cm
