seem worth all the color of skies To see the earth through painted eyes To look through panes of shaded glass See the stains of winter's grass (refrain) [verse 3] Can you now return to from where you came Try to burn your changing name Or with silver spoons and colored light Will you worship moons in winter's night (refrain) The toughest thing about learning this song is in making it sound fluid all the way through, but once mastered, it is a great addition to one's repertoire. A smooth transition from end of refrain back to into takes a bit of work too, but it's more a matter of timing than difficult fingerings, etc. If anyone has corrections, additions, or comment, by all means let me know.
