[Verse 1]
Am
Realising a form out of stone
G
Set hands moving
Dm
Roan shaped his heart
G
Through his working hands
G C G Dm F C
Work to mold his passion into clay, like the sun
C
In his room, his lady
Dm
She would dance and sing so completely
C
So be still he now cries
Dm Am Dm G F
I have time, oh let clay transform thee so
Dm
In the deep cold of night
Em G
Winter calls, he cries "Don't deny me!"
Am Dm
For his lady, deep her illness
G
Time has caught her
F
And will for all reasons take her
Am Dm
In the still light of dawn, she dies
G Dm
Helpless hands soul revealing
C G C
Like leaves we touch we learn
Am G D
We once knew the story
G C G
As winter calls he will starve
Am F Dm
All but to see the stone be life
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
F
Now Roan, no more tears
Dm
Set to work his strength
G
So transformed him
Dm C
Realising a form out of stone, his work
G
So absorbed him
F
Could she hear him?
Dm
Could she see him?
G
All aglow was his room dazed in this light
F
He would touch her
Am
He would hold her
D C
Laughing as they danced
F
Highest colors touching others
[Chorus]
C Am G
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
Dm C
Tell me plainly
F C G C
When we meet, how we'll love, oh let life so transform me
C G Bb
Like leaves we touched we danced
Dm F
We once knew the story
Am
As autumn called and we both
Em Cm F Dm G
Remembered all those many years ago
F C
I'm sure we know

[Verse 3]
F
Was the sign with a touch
Dm
As I kiss your fingers
G Dm
We walk hands in the sun
C G
Memories when we're young
G
Love lingers so
Was it sun through the haze
F Am
That made all your looks
As warm as moonlight?
D C
As a pearl deep in your eyes
F
Tears have flown away
G
All the same light
[Chorus]
C Am G
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
Dm C
Tell me plainly
F C
When we meet how we'll look
G C
As we smile time will leave me clearly
E C#m
Like leaves we touch, we see
D E F#m G#m
We will know the story

As autumn calls we'll both remember
