STAINED GLASS

Guitar: Double Drop D tuning
Mandolin
Irish Whistle

D It’s a stained glass image
When I G look into your Em eyes
A All your color shining D through A
D And it took me quite a while
G Before I Em realized
A It’s the color that has
brought me here to D you

Bm Stained glass imperfections bending A images and hue
G Hides away what’s hidden deep A inside
Bm Transparency is not the way that A I think of you
It’s the G colored variations, Em imperfect presentation
It’s the Bm light I see A dancing in your D eyes

D And some would much prefer
A G clear look in your Em soul
A All those imperfections
Block their D view A
D But I would just explain
It’s the G color and the Em stain
That A open up my heart back to D you
