Mary's Eyes (early draft)

D/E = D with open high E

D                     C                   G                D
Mary's hair was never red, she didn't like to smile
D                              C                   G                 A
And when she meant "Forever" said "It's only for a while"
D                               C       G        C              G      A
And when the summer poppy petals blow down to the sea
D                        C      G            C            A?          D
I sing a song that Mary loved, but she won't sing with me

Susan on a Saturday came tripping through by chance
On summer wind, in child's play, her footsteps in a dance
Come a calling, cattails falling, spun from bric-a-brac
She left a song to linger on, but won't be coming back
...

Colors turn in carnival as seasons make the rounds
Winter breathes as Autumn leaves, then snow comes falling down
Take a walk, we used to talk, through redwood silent grace
To a meadow where I swear (I) still sometimes see her face
