NIGHT OF A MILLION MOONS (Mary Karlzen)

 idea of what's going on.]

[intro]

                C    F
What seemed to be
           C        F
A million years ago
                         C               F                      C    F
When the summers were as endless as the days and the sky was as lazy
              C    F
My mother and I
                 C          F
Would sit on the concrete steps
              G         F           G     F
And watch the wind blow through the grass
           G       D7/F#                    F
We saw the dogs run,  and watched my brothers pass

                   C      F
And I looked at my mother
                C               F
As we silently watched the wind
        G     F      G    F
And without a single word
     G       D7/F#       F
We'd rise up,     and go in

C                Bb           G           G
  Welcome to the night of a million moons
C                 Bb                G         G
  Welcome to the future which comes all too soon
      F                G                    F               Am
And I reached for the light as if I could stop the past somehow
     F        G                C    F
From colliding against what is now
                C    F                    C   F
Welcome to the night   of a million moons
C   F   C   F
