The Staves - The motherlode

^DmCounting the winters, ^Fnumb too cold ^DmSearching the valley, for ^Fsecrets untold The ^Dmmountains are children, to ^Fsomeone so old A k^D#ing without kingdom or ^Fthrone ^D#Digging the mud and the ^Fstone

^DmAll men have left here but ^Fyou have remained At the b^Dmanks of the river, fo^Frever the same T^Dmhough no water flows here, the ^Fmemory stays As ^D#long as it stays you are ^Fhere ^D#Heart broken year after ^Fyear

^FPeople running away, running like strangers day after day ^DmLeave him ^Falone ^CGold^Dmen river ^D#runn^Dming from her ^Fhome

The ^Dmsun was an altar, be^Ffore which he knelt And r^Dmaised up the dagger, that ^Fhung from his belt He c^Dmursed his delusions and the sa^Fdness he felt W^D#eeping at what he'd ^Fbecome, just a ^D#fool in the gold of the ^Fsun

^FPeople running away, running like strangers day after day ^DmLeave him alone ^F
