Intro: Dm/A Abdim F/D
Dm Dm
Elderberry and lavender
Dm Dm
Yet in full bloom when we first met
Dm Dm
In your eyes such a blossom
Dm Dm
Oh this beauty I'll never forget
Dm F
Sepia-coloured memories nailed
Dm G
Like butterflies in a neatly row
Dm F
And yet preserved for the sweet day
Dm G
When I hear them crying
Dm
Help me! Free me!
D
You left me, sweet, two legacies
Dm
A legacy of love
A heavenly father would content
Had he the offer off
D
You left me boundaries of pain
Capacious as the sea
Dm
Between eternity and time
Your consciousness and me
Dm Dm
On and on, love and sorrow
Dm Dm
Like a laurel crown on your head
Dm Dm
Have you seen that little photograph
Dm Dm
On the wall that detains the sunset?
Dm F
Sepia-coloured memories nailed
Dm G
Like butterflies in a neatly row
Dm F
And yet preserved for the sweet day
Dm G
When I hear them crying
Dm
Help me! Free me!
Bb
You left me two legacies
Gm A
A heavenly father would content, had he the offer of
Dm
(A legacy, a legacy of love)
You left me
F#m D
Boundaries of pain, Capacious as the sea
(He would content, had he the offer of)
F#m
( Eternity and time, your consciousness and me)
Your consciousness and me, and me
Dm F
Sepia-coloured memories nailed
Dm G
Like butterflies in a neatly row
Dm F
And yet preserved for the sweet day
Dm G
When I hear them crying
Dm F
Sepia-coloured memories nailed
Dm G
Like butterflies in a neatly row
Dm F
And yet preserved for the sweet day
Dm G
When I hear them crying
Dm
Help me! Free me!
