Hi
-- Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide

Tell me the reason I feel this way
Is it something I said or just what I might say
Am I closing an old book or writing a new
Is it one long hello or just one short adieu

Hi

Blueberry season the mountains are one
The days are all long we just sit in the sun
And talk through the hours, til the pale glimmering
If you lean a bit closer you might hear me sing

Hi

And I won't look back I won't look back
I'll never go I'll never go
I can't say yes I can't say yes
I won't say no I won't say no
And all that I need
Are the eyes that can see in my heart

So go wander away but don't linger too long
Or you may miss the reason you first came along
Tell me your story tell me your heart
We won't share those secrets til way after dark

Hi

Before Those Winter Nights
-- Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide

4/4 – strong medium (tune low E to D)

Verse: Dm | Bb Bb C C
Dm | C C C C

four a.m. in the morning
my eyes are open as my mind is closing
city of the golden bridges doesn't
bring me any closer to my resting place
i can always stop for coffee
god knows i need the caffeine
in a blink i can become my witness
witness this you are forever

five-thirty can it be that early
i miss the days that i slept in daylight
always running on an empty track
always tryin to make it through an open door
can i keep up with the landscape
can i rush ahead and never look back
warm my hands beside the engine
i better try to find some gloves with fingers

did she say something i missed
did i really look the other way now
i never could remember dates and first names
but i can't forget those days of autumn
joseph's coat is getting old now
someone else had better rake him over
i better try to get some sunlight
before those winter nights begin to roll me under
C C C C
before those winter nights begin to roll me
C C C C
before those winter nights begin to
C C C C
before those winter nights

--------------Solo---------
