Remembering Marie A Chords & Lyrics - David Bowie

It was a [C]day in that blue month sep[C]tember
Silent be[F]neath the plum trees' slender s[C]hade
I held her [Am]there
My love, so pale and [Dm]silent
As if she [G]were a dream that must not [C]fade
Above us [F]in the summer shinning [C]heaven
There was a [Am]cloud my eyes dwelled long u[Dm]pon
It was quite [G]white and very high a[Dm]bove us
Then I looked [G]up
And found that it had [C]gone

And since that [C]day, so many moons in [C]silence
Have [F]swum across the sky and gone be[C]low
The plum trees [Am]surely have been chopped for [Dm]firewood
And if you [G]ask, how does that love seem [C]now
I must ad[F]mit, I really can't re[C]member
Though I [Am]know what you are trying to [Dm]say
But what that [G]face was like, I know no [Dm]longer
I only [G]know I kissed it on that [C]day

As for the [C]kiss, I long ago for[C]got it
But for the [F]cloud that floated in the [C]sky
I know that [Am]still and shall forever [Dm]know it
It was quite [G]white and moved in very [C]high
It may be [F]that the plum trees still are [C]blooming
That woman's s[Am]eventh child may now be [Dm]there
And yet that [G]cloud had only bloomed for [Dm]moments
When I [G]looked up
It vanished on the [C]air.
