Be There
words & music (c)1988
by Nancy Louise Freeman
F#m Bm G D
And in the hour before the dawn a fog comes flowing down from hills,
F#m BM G D
clings to fern and needle in droplets like the tears of the moon.
G D G D
Lost ducks and geese honk through the mist
G D A
a song to call home mislaid souls
G A D A Bm
But I don't want to be there at the end of day
G D A
with all the memories come echoing;
G A D A Bm
not when the morning fog has burned away.
A D G A
I don't want to be there.
And soon the leaves of autumn will run flaming up the hills,
and soon enough a fragile snow will gather on the ocean's hem.
A something wind from below the horizon
blows the sky away forever.
But I don't want to be there at the end of day
cold on the shoreline breathing painfully.
Can't stand to see you any honest way.
I don't want to be there.
