Diamond to North Wind

F Am C G It was the best of life, All that was meant to be Diamonds for the world to see, She's stuck in a cabin near the woods Such a lady like that, a friend, With such long hair, Hangin down to her knees, without a care, She... Stood with bare feet on the stone, The poor moon hangs above, Against the hill it waits, The boy anticipates, Such a boy to think beyond her grave, Gentle cry brave is stripped away, Search for her, Sharp as a knife, Weeping ash, Don't fight for no good, Where ever you find yourself, A door in the yard, Searching for yourself, Dreaming not to be, Waiting with the window light, Guiding every step, Glimmer with shapes alone, Like the wind when it's waking up.

Elijah

C/G  F Take your things and I'll take mine And don't you worry who gets left behind Subtle embrace and slight salute Pistol holding and ready to shoot C/G F Cause were moving on up, with all the changes, Cause were moving on up, to different place, Gmaj7 no5   Fmaj7 no5  You can tell everybody, Am F Am  Dm But please, please, please, Don't tell Elijah. Take my heart and take me in, I could believe you would make amends, Take these ashes and let them fly, With death impeding don't you cry, Cause were moving on up, with all the changes, Cause were moving on up, to different place, Gmaj7  no5   Fmaj7  no5  You can tell everybody, Am F Am  Dm But please, please, please, Don't tell Elijah.

The Healer & The queen

Am G F C     G C F C/E Dm C C G Am F     Dm F G A woman loved by all, Enthralled by gentlemen, She waved her royal hand, The nation mommy, Finally she settled on one, A King above the rest, And begot a fragile child, heir to the throne, When leaves would fall, The boy's bones would break and bend Days in bed waiting for death, deeply worried his mommy, The child found a rescue, A healer with some words,  Although a proper heart, But eyes set on mommy, Far away from home, On the frontline troops at his side,  The King commanding all, but hardly mommy, The saintly man would wash her hands, Heals her wounds and tour the bars,  He'd boast out loud, and make a toast to mommy, Scummed to the sauce, with fire in her chest,  T'was admiration that lead to her folly,  When the bread maker walked in, Shocked at the scene he cried softly When the word got out, It was far to late for mommy, This would be the end of mommy Least expected, Th

Left overs

The farthest I've ever been, yet the closest I am to you,  It took so much to believe It took so much to perceive/grieve/conceive. You fade through the woods rising morning water on the ground every strong step you take every strong moment is profound. The journey is not forsaken Consecrated Wet with out clothes on- left overs Won't you come with white spring bleeding out oh oh oh. You're breathing life in my being, singing and we're singing, on the delta without fleeing (no no no)- get wet with our clothes on. swimming on the dry land. Honey settle with me,  i know you won't leave me, not that you have to go. A work in progress, all rights reserved  (C) 2012 John Canales
