[Verse]
D
Well I stared at a bear
G D
Listening close, nose up to the evening
“Won’t you share your thoughts with me
G D
Oh the thoughts you seem to thinking”
G
He said “I dream I dream I dream
G
That the leaves the leaves the leaves
Em
They don’t ever stop their changing, no
A D
Changing for me
G
But it seems it seems it seems
G
That the trees the trees the trees
Em
They don’t ever stop their changing, no
A D
Changing their leaves
G
But when they die
E Bbm A D
I won’t leave this world unknown
G
When they die
E Bbm A D
I won’t leave this world unknown”
D
“I could teach you” I said
G D
“All the ways to live with them forever”
G
“Don’t you coddle me boy, oh I know
D
All too well how to remember”
G
He said “I dream I dream I dream
G
That the leaves the leaves the leaves
Em
They don’t ever stop their changing, no
A D
Changing for me
G
But it seems it seems it seems
G
That the trees the trees the trees
Em
They don’t ever stop their changing, no
A D
Changing their leaves
G
But when they die
E Bbm A D
I won’t leave this world unknown
G
When they die
E Bbm A D
I won’t leave this world unknown”
G A D
Tell me, have you seen
G A D
Love dry, love cease to grow (X3)
A D
I’ve caught fish so I know
G D
The sound it makes when you let them go
A C Em A
It’s the worst sound that I’ve ever known
D
Then came the snow
And the ice
Over the water
Over the water
Over my water
