Artist: Alela Diane
Capo 1st Fret
[Am]The sea beneath the cliff is the blue in my [Dm]mother's eyes
That came from the blue [G]in her mother's eyes
[C]Thrown on down t[Em]he line
[Am]By our family who worked the field on bo[Dm]rrowed land above the ocean
My fami[G]ly worked the field on borrowed l[C]and [Em]
[CHORUS]
[Dm]Higher hills [C]do[G] not provide
[Dm]For hearts born [C]of cora[G]l and moss
[Dm]Where rain wont [C]flow beyond our[G] stream
[Dm]And water is c[C]aptive to the wel[G]l
(Repeat after each chorus:)
[Am]Oh-ohh
Oh-Ohh[Dm]
Oh-Oh[G]h
[C]Oh-oh-oh[Em]
(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
