Amber Dreams
©1995 Garrett Clevenger
E A x2 Pine
sap drips upon my head as I
sit underneath a tree.
E A
x2 Sunlight filters through the
branches as the needles dance within the breeze.
B C Feeling
quite contented I close my eyes
and
B A drift
off into a dream and the
E A
x2 pine sap keeps on dripin’, soon it
will bury me.
A E
E A x2 I
woke up a thousand years later. The
amber had crystalized. I was
E A x2 stuck
in a lotus position, looking
through crystal eyes.
B C Wondering
how to break through this prism when,
B A whoa, to my
surprise, the
E A x2 amber
began to crack and my joy
began to rise.
E A
x2 I wandered around the
forest. I wondered which way to go. The
E A
x2 path I had followed was no
longer barren, the trail had been overgrown.
B C Everything was lusher, denser and brighter.
B A Everything took on a glow. So I
E A
x2 set out towards the sun. I
decided to follow the flow.
E A
x2 The song that I heard was so
hypnotizing, there was nothing that I thought.
The
E A
x2 feeling that I felt was so
mesmerizing there was no thing that I sought.
B C The world is a very wonderful place, there is
B A no reason to stay caught. So
E A
x2 open your eyes to the amber
dreams, mould
the iron you have wrought.
E A x4 Open your eyes. Open your mind. Open your heart. Open your life.
E A jam
E A x3 Open your eyes to the amber dreams, mould the iron you have wrought.
A hold
