Dar Williams - Arrival

My ^C/Gdad is a ^Cmaj9miracle and ^Amso's my mom They ^Dmfly ^C/Gover the ^Gblue They finish their dinner and then they take one a^Amnother's hands And off they ^Dmgo to find a ^C/Gbroader point of ^Gview For it's a ^C/Ggive and take be^Cmaj9yond the ordi^Amnary What with ^Dmall the cats and ^C/Gkids that they've ^Gloved A^Fnd the^Amy, ^Dmooh, will not ^Gbe alone

Well, my ^C/Gfriends give me ^Cmaj9purple flowers and ^Amorange tea On ^Dmgoose-down spilling ^C/Gquilts and turquoise ^Gchairs We greet each other in a wild pro^Amfusion of words Wave fare^Dmwell amidst the ^C/Gwonderment of ^Gair In the ^C/Glaughing times we ^Cmaj9know that we are ^Amlucky And in the ^Dmquiet times we ^C/Gknow that we are ^Gblessed A^Fnd w^Ame, ^Dmooh, will not ^Gbe alone

Well, the ^C/Glight that stopped the ^Cmaj9night felt like for^Amgiveness to you But as the ^Dmgarbage trucks came ^C/Gbustling through their ^Grounds You stared at the pictures on your walls and all the ^Ampostcards from your friends As you ^Dmheard the birds and old^C/G familiar ^Gsounds That's when you ^C/Gknew this world can't ^Cmaj9be saved, only dis^Amcovered And you ^Dmknew things could be ^C/Gdifferent than be^Gfore And n^Fow yo^Amu, ^Dmooh, will not ^Gbe alone a^C/Gnymo^Cmaj9re_____^Am_ ^{Dm G C/G}
