[Intro]
D G D
[Verse 1]
D
I sat upon the evening hill
D
The shadows set, the night grew still
D
And as I sat, guitar on knee
D
A voice of flowers called to me
[Chorus]
D
Sing, sing to me your song
G D A
Sing, for I belong to the night
G A D G D
In the gray morning light, I'll be gone
[Verse 2]
D
I turned with eyes that strained for sight
D
And there amid the failing light
D
Dimly saw a figure small
D
Heard a voice of magic call
[Chorus]
D
Sing, sing to me your song
G D A
Sing, for I belong to the night
G A D G D
In the gray morning light, I'll be gone
[Verse 3]
D
My fumbling fingers found the chords
D
My trembling lips fought for the words
D
I stopped to ask the stranger how
D
He softly said, "No questions now"
[Chorus]
D
Sing, sing to me your song
G D A
Sing, for I belong to the night
G A D G D
In the gray morning light, I'll be gone
[Verse 4]
D
Then with the magic of the elves
D
My fingers danced among themselves
D
A heart with lightness thus endowed
D
Formed melodies I know not how
[Chorus]
D
Song played the whole night long
G D A
Thus he danced and laughed through the night
G A D
And with gray morning light, he was gone
[Verse 5]
D
Now, the whispering wind plays over the hill
D
And the evening sounds again grow still
Em
A year or more has passed since then
A D G A
Oh, he will not pass my way again
[Out-Chorus]
D G D
So, I sing, sing to you my song
G D A
Sing for I belong to the night
G A D G
In the gray morning light, I'll be gone
D G D
So, I sing, sing to you my song
G D A
Sing for I belong to the night
G A D G
In the gray morning light, I'll be gone
D G D
So, I sing, sing to you my song
G D A
Sing for I belong to the night
G A
In the gray morning light
