Age Old Blue

	  		



Am                                          Dm   
The sea beneath the cliff is the blue in my mother's eyes 
                        G  
That came from the blue in her mother's eyes 
C               Em 
Thrown on down the line 
Am                                      Dm      
By our family who worked the field on borrowed land above the ocean 
       G                                C      Em 
My family worked the field on borrowed land 

 
Dm           C G 
Higher hills do not provide 
Dm              C      G 
For hearts born of coral and moss 
Dm              C              G 
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream 
Dm            C                G 
And water is captive to the well 



Chorus

Am 
Oh-ohh 
      Dm 
Oh-Ohh 
     G 
Oh-Ohh 
C       Em 
Oh-oh-oh 

(Same chords as first verse)
 
There was a gentleman, 
I've always known his children's songs 
Blue eyes were hardened by the war 
But still he went on singing 

Night can't hide a man 
When his eyes are tearing 
The night can't hide his cries 
There's only a few of us left 

Higher hills do not provide 
For hearts born of coral and moss 
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream 
And water is captive to the well 

I've known that age old blue lies in home with sirens tombs 
He's left a deep desire for a home beside the water 
Shady rhythm calms the night 
And that voice is never still 
You know a voice is never still 
And a voice is never silent 

Shady rhythm calms the night 
And that voice is never still 
You know a voice is never still 
And a voice is never silent 

Higher hills do not provide 
For hearts born of coral and moss 
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream 
And water is captive to the well
