Am
This dot on the map, my boy
G             C
This is Olive Springs
Dm             Am
And the circle round the star
Dm                 E
They call Saturn's ring

[Verse 2]
Am
Glass is made of sand, my boy
G                        C
And clouds with drops of rain
Dm           Am
Seasons only go away
Dm      E     Am    G
To come back again

[Chorus]
          C    Am
Sister Emilyne
          C         Am      Dm
Shared my childhood dreams
               Dm    G
And the tender days
             C    G
Slowly died away

              C     Am
I can see her smile
     C           Am     Dm
At a young boy's rhymes
                         Dm     G
When "blue" rhymes with "true"
                     C      G
And "dream" with "Emilyne"

[Verse 3]
Am
No one's always right, my boy
G                   C
Sometimes you'll be wrong
Dm                 Am
Give before you're asked to give
Dm                   E
Give your whole life long

[Verse 4]
Am
And when there's a goal to reach
G                C
Time's your only friend
Dm                           Am
You can change the course of things
Dm            E        Am    G
But you can't stop the end

[Chorus]
          C      Am
Sister Emilyne
          C         Am        Dm
Shared my childhood dreams
               Dm      G
And the tender days
             C     G
Slowly died away

              C       Am
I can see her smile
     C           Am       Dm
At a young boy's rhymes
                         Dm      G
When "blue" rhymes with "true"
                     C      G
And "dream" with "Emilyne"
