And Hiding Away
---------------

CAPO 1

AA Piano Chord 
                           BmBm Piano Chord 

I prize the cloudy, tearing sky
AA Piano Chord 

for the thoughts that flap and fly.
BmBm Piano Chord 

For staying in and reading by.
AA Piano Chord 

For sitting under.

BmBm Piano Chord 

I read a book of Madeline
AA Piano Chord 

and her friends in two straight lines,
BmBm Piano Chord 

in Paris, in a house with vines

over its old face.
EE Piano Chord 

Far, far is Paris...
DD Piano Chord 

and the sky is dark with mystery.

A AND D (I THINK)

Try, catch the thoughts that flap and fly
in the cloudy, tearing sky,
that touch and stir and won't be tied-
and try to speak them.

I think of my old Flower Sky.
Of us, when we thought we were spies.
Of bobbing eggs in Easter dyes.
Of walks in London.
Try, try to hold my love for you,
it knows no measure.
EE Piano Chord 
                           DD Piano Chord 

This is a day for hearing bagpipes

somewhere playing.
EE Piano Chord 
                          DD Piano Chord 

This is a day for hearing sarabands
EE Piano Chord 
      DD Piano Chord 
     EE Piano Chord 
      DD Piano Chord 

and hiding away.

Sky, I hold my tears if you do.
Starling thoughts, go over me.

NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THE ENDING AND THE INSTRUMENTAL PARTS. THE REST SOUND
