G Am7/G
Isabel is waiting
Gsus4 G
In a room of many shadows
Em Am
Her eyes like flashing diamonds
C G
Shining brightly from the sea
Am7/G
Her hair in silken tresses
Gsus4 G
Like a road around her shoulders
Em Am
Hiding tantalizing treasures
C G
That the sun has never seen
G Am7/G
Isabel is watching
Gsus4 G
Like a princess from the mountains
Em Am
For the first soft snows of winter
C G
And the icy winds they bring
Am7/G
With a whisper of her sadness
Gsus4 G
In the passing of the summer
Em Am
Her crown is wide red roses
C G
With a lace of forest green
Bb6 D/A G
And she wraps her arms around me and she sighs
Bb6 D/A G
And she seems to be in silence with her eyes
Em A D D/C Em7/B Bb6 D/A D7
And her hair upon my pillow comforts me
G Am7/G
Isabel is weeping
Gsus4 G
And her eyes are full of wonder
Em Am
She knows that it's the time for her
C G
And she cannot understand
Am7/G
She's a mistress of the moonlight
Gsus4 G
To the stars she is a sister
Em Am
And the morning now awaits her
C G
To betray her once again
Bb6 D/A G
And she whispers as she sadly slips away
Bb6 D/A G
Then she smiles because there's nothing left to say
Em A D D/C Em7/B Bb6 D/A D7
And she takes with her the sadness and the sun (
