"The Sand and the Foam" - Dan Fogelberg 1981  

C                    F             G 
Dawn, like an angel, lights on the step

Am                     Dm  G 
Muting the morning she heralds

C                         F               G       
Dew on the grass like the tears the night wept

Am                       Dm    G 
Gone long before the day wears old

(xx0111)
Fm6             C         Dm             C 
Time stills the singing a child holds so dear

    Fm6        C          Am     D
Amd I'm just beginning to hear

Fm6          C            Dm             C  
Gone are the pathways the child followed home

F              G            C
Gone, like the sand and the foam

Pressed in the pages of some aging past
Lies an old lily, crumbling
Marking a moment of childish respects
Long since betrayed and forgotten

Time stills the singing a child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear
Gone are the pathways the child followed home
Gone, like the sand and the foam


Dm  E  Am     Dm  E  Am    Dm  E  Am  F  Dm  Em  F  G 

 then:

F              G        F             G     
Gone, like the sand... (gone like the sand)

F              G            F     C   Dm   C   F  G  C 
Gone, like the sand and the fo----am
