Silver Wings Of Time

Verse 1:
      F                                    C/G
        The evening sun is sinking,moving homeward
                     Dm                           A
        As darkened shadows claim the fight they won
                      F                              C/G
        With upturned eyes closed from the light of darkness
                         Dm         A7              Dm
        And two crossed hands that raised another's son


Verse 2:
                 F                       C/G
        Gone,oh gone the one who really loved me
                   Dm                       A
        For what i was not what i ought to be
                    F                          C/G
        Who never questioned falling leaves in autumn
                    Dm         A7           Dm
        Nor silver nests built on a dying tree


Verse 3:
                    F                           C/G
        In gingham gown she warmed me from the coldness
                    Dm                          A
        The winter nights seemed warm as summertime
                 F                        C/G
        Another love will never touch as deeply
                      Dm      A7              Dm
        As love that flew on silver wings of time


Verse 4:
                    F                         C/G
        On pension for the aged she raised a young man
                         Dm                     A
        Who learned the love of God and other things
                      F                                C/G
        Now,love he knew that twelve times warmed his winter
                    Dm     A7                 Dm
        Has flown away on time's bright silver wings
