Love

Take This Waltz by Leonard Cohen

A million years

What is this I'm feeling now
It's like I've known you for a million years somehow
like two hearts that share one soul
can there be a missing piece in us 
that someone else makes whole?

Well I don't know what this could
I'm so caught up in this dream
It's deeper than the deepest sea
and I'm not sure what it means

You are there and I am here
there's a continent between us filled with lover's tears
I'm am free and you are tied
and the age that separates us may be where our souls collide

and i don't know what this could be 
I'm just caught up in the dream
It's deeper than the deepest sea
And i'm not sure what it means

what is this I'm feeling now?
it's like I've known you for a million years 
somehow


A Million Years

Just recently, after decades of oblivion, I came again across this little jewel written by Stephen Stills in 1969. And I could not resist giving it a try using a Huss&Dalton custom 00-SP. Tuning is D#, D#, D#, D#, D#, A#, D#.

4+20

Four and twenty years ago, I come into this life,
the son of a woman and a man who lived in strife.
He was tired of being poor
and he wasn't into selling door to door
and he worked like the devil to be more.

A different kind of poverty now upsets my soul
Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know
why am I so alone?
Where is my woman can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away? Is she gone?

Morning comes to sunrise and I'm driven to my bed.
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head.
I embrace the many colored beast.
I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I catch myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.

4 and 20 (Stephen Stills)
