Capo 1st Fret


A5                                          D5  
The sea beneath the cliff is the blue in my mother's eyes
                        G5 
That came from the blue in her mother's eyes
C5               E5
Thrown on down the line
A5                                      D5     
By our family who worked the field on borrowed land above the ocean
       G5                                C5      E5
My family worked the field on borrowed land

Chorus
D5           C5 G5
Higher hills do not provide
D5              C5      G5
For hearts born of coral and moss
D5              C5              G5
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream
D5            C5                G5
And water is captive to the well

(Repeat after each chorus:)
A5
Oh-ohh
      D5
Oh-Ohh
     G5
Oh-Ohh
C5       E5
Oh-oh-oh

(Same chords as first verse)
There was a gentleman,
I've always known his children's songs
Blue eyes were hardened by the war
But still he went on singing

Night can't hide a man
When his eyes are tearing
The night can't hide his cries
There's only a few of us left

Higher hills do not provide
For hearts born of coral and moss
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream
And water is captive to the well

I've known that age old blue lies in home with sirens tombs
He's left a deep desire for a home beside the water
Shady rhythm calms the night
And that voice is never still
You know a voice is never still
And a voice is never silent

Shady rhythm calms the night
And that voice is never still
You know a voice is never still
And a voice is never silent

Higher hills do not provide
For hearts born of coral and moss
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream
And water is captive to the well
