Playing tips
The "-" sign denotes quick change of the notes, i.e. it connects the notes
with a shorter duration than those depicted without those dash signs. But
how short are they?... Also, different time signatures are used for all
those bridges...
Oh, should there come a day when I learn writing music sheets I will rework
all this. Meanwhile, always refer to the original recording.

(The Dance in Sand and Sea)
INTRO: { f-g-c- f-g-c- f-g-c- d-c-g- f-g-c- f-g-c- d-c-g- E } x2
E
So here we are, or rather, here am I, quite alone;
D
I'm seeing things that were shared before, long ago;
C
my memory stretches and I am dazed.
You know I know
E E D C E
how good the time was and how I laughed.
E Dm Csus4 C
Times have changed, now you're far away, I can't complain -
Bm Am G F(+d) F
I had all my chances but they slipped right through my ha - ands
Dm
like so much sand;
Am G(+d) F(+d) Em
I know I'll never dance like I used to.
E
I'll just wait till day breaks upon the land and the sea,
D
hoping that I can catch all of the memories;
Csus4
then I must crawl off upon my way,
E E D C E
all of me listening hard for the final words.
E Dm Csus4 C
But there are none, the sunrise calls, I've lingered on
Bm Am G F(+d) F
too close for comfort and I don't know quite why - y
Dm
I feel like crying -
Am G(+d) F(+d) Em
I know we'll never dance like we used to.

Bm A G F#
I look up, I'm almost blin - ded
Bm A G F#
by the warmth of what's inside me
Bm A G F#
and the taste that's in my soul,
Bm A G F# Bm A G F#msus4(?) F#m
but I'm dead inside as I stand alone.

(The Dance in Frost)
F#m(+d)/F# F#m/F#
I wore my moods like different sets of clothes
D/f# B
but the right one was never around
G
and as you left I heard my body ring
Em A
and my mind began to howl.
D Dmaj7 D7 G
It was far to late to contemplate the meaning of it all;
G F
You know that I need you, but somehow
E D E D E D E
I don't think you see my love at all.
BRIDGE 3: Sax solo is played in E key.

The wonderland lay in a coat of white, chilling frost;
C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
I looked a - round and I found I was truly lost...
E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4
without your hand in mine I am dead.

E Dm Csus4 C
Reality is unreal and games I've tried just aren't the same:
Bm Am G F(+d) F
without your smile there's nowhere to hi - ide
F/c F/b Dm/a
(yes) and deep inside
Am G(+d) F(+d) Em
I know I' ve never cried as I'm about to ...
Bm A G F#
If I could just frame the words
Bm A G F#
that would make your fire burn
Bm A G F# Bm A
all this water now around me could be the love
G F# Bm A G F#msus4(?) E
that should surround me.

Looking out through the tears that blind me
Bm A G F#
my heart bleeds that you may find me

forget and be numb,
Bm A G F#
but I can't stop, the words still come:
Bm A G F#
I love yo - u. x4
ENDING: Bm D Bm D etc.
