Tom: G
Gm C
Came the night a mist dissolved the trees
Cm G A Am Eb G
And in the broken light colours fly, fading by
G C
Pale and cold as figures fill the glade
Cm G A G C G
Grey is the web they spin, on and on, and on and on
G Gm Cm Gm
Through the flame still summer lingers on
Gm Eb A
Though her pictures soon shatter
[Chorus]
G D
All, always the same
Bm D
But there appears in the shades of dawning
Em G
Though your eyes are dim
N.C. D
All of the pieces in the sky
[Verse 2]
Gm C
There was once a harvest in this land
Cm G A Am Eb G
Reap from the turquoise sky, harlequin, harlequin
G C
Dancing round, three children fill the glade
Cm G A G C G
Theirs was the laughter in the winding stream, and in between
G Gm Cm Gm
Close your door, the picture fades again
Gm Eb A
From the flames in the firelight
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
G D
All, all is not lost
Bm D
And light appears in the shades of dawning
Em G
When your eyes can see
N.C. D
Order the pieces, put them back, put them back
