I learned this phrase from my father

I said, you got this heart from your Mother

She bears all our suffering through the longest of years, too long lately,

All things fade into dark green water down by the lake
  Cm                Eb                 Ab         Cm

But I'll reflect
Eb                                   Cm                Eb
I won't ask anything but forgiveness once I have the courage to explain
