A pillow of winds
E(addF#) F#m/E Emaj7
F#m/E B(addE) Emaj7
A cloud of eiderdown draws around me softening the sound
Bm/E
Sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side, and she's breathing low
E(addF#)
And the candle dies
E(addF#)
When night comes down, you lock the door
The book falls to the floor
As darkness falls and waves roll by, the seasons change
The wind is warm
Now wakes the owl.... Now sleeps the swan
Behold a dream, the dream is gone
Green fields, a cold rain is falling in a golden dawn
F#m/E B(addE) Emaj7
And deep beneath the ground the early morning sounds and I______ go down
Bm/E
Sleeping time when I lie with my love by my side and she's breathing low
And I rise like a bird in the haze when the first rays touch the sky
E(addF#) F#m/E Emaj7 Bm/E
And the night winds die

Bm Am Bm Am Bm Am Bm Am
G C Bb G C Bb
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling
Merciless, the magistrate turns round
Frowning
And who's the fool who wears the crown
And go down in your own way
And everyday is the right day
And as you rise above the fearlines in the frown
You look down
Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd
REPEAT RIFF FOREVER

San Tropez
D7 Gmaj7
As I reach for a peach slide a ride down behind the
Gm6
sofa in San Tropez
Gmaj7
Breaking a stick with a brick on the sand riding a wave in the wake of
Gm6
an old sedan
G7 A7
Sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness scratched by the sand that
C7 D
fell from our love deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling If
you're alone I'll come home
[play this first time only, second time go to Coda]
Gmaj7 Gm6
Backwards and home-bound the pigeon, the dove gone with the wind and
Gmaj7 Gm6
the rain on an airplane owning a home with no silver spoon I'm drinking
G7
champagne like a big tycoon Sooner than wait for a break in the weather
A7 C7
I'll gather my far-flung thoughts together Speeding away on a wind to a
D
new day if you're alone I'll come home ... And I pause
[Back to top with these lyrics]
Gmaj7
for a while by a country stile and listen to things they say
Digging for gold with a hoe in my hand hoping they'll take a look
at the way things stand
Would you lead me down to the place by the sea?
I hear your soft voice calling to me
Making a date for later by phone
If you're alone I'll come home
[Repeat and fade out]
Gmaj 7 Gm6
