Theseus

Longmire, 2009




   G                          G7
I never even had the eyes to see,
    C7                            B7    -   Em
My very first success was really you.


    Em
It never would have happened just with me,
    Em
Without your thread of love to see it through,
   Am
We never could have gotten off to sea,
    Em
Without your father's ship and without you,
        Bm
   You showed me what a tender love could be,
     Bm                                 B7
   I never knew the things that I would do,
                  Em
      To rue the day.



    G                          G7
The intervention of the gods above,
    C7                          B7     -    Em
Provided no excuse nor made it fair.


    Em
We suffered from the whirlwind of our love,
    Em
Distracted by mistakes in our despair,
    Am
You made a home among the gods above,
    Em
I found a place and took some comfort there,
       Bm
   But I could not conceal the thought of love,
         Bm                                B7
   The thought of his face buried in your hair,
                  Em
      I rued the day.











   G                         G7
I never had a clue along the way,
     C7                               B7   -    Em
That we'd have such an ending to our song.


      Em
The tragedy is final in the play,
      Em
The story's over but the lives go on,
      Am
And those of us who see another day,
    Em
The penance of the decades finally gone,
       Bm
   We sometimes, if we're lucky, find a way,
      Bm                             B7
   To overcome the fates and move beyond,
                   Em
      How new the day,


[Instr]

  C7   -   B7   -                 Em
                    How sweet the day,

  C7   -   B7   -               Em
                    How new the day,
