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!
