                        ADDITIONAL LYRICS
 
 
   [verse 2]
   Does it now seem worth all the color of skies
   To see the earth through painted eyes
   To look through panes of shaded glass
   See the stains of winter's grass  (refrain)
 
   [verse 3]
   Can you now return to from where you came
   Try to burn your changing name
   Or with silver spoons and colored light
   Will you worship moons in winter's night  (refrain)
 
 
 
    The toughest thing about learning this song is in making it sound
    fluid all the way through, but once mastered, it is a great addition
    to one's repertoire. A smooth transition from end of refrain back to
    into takes a bit of work too, but it's more a matter of timing than
    difficult fingerings, etc. If anyone has corrections, additions, or
    comment, by all means let me know.  E.H.
