Biography:
Alela Diane Menig (born April 20, 1983, Nevada City, California, USA) is an American singer and songwriter. She grew up singing with her musician parents and performing in the school choir. She taught herself guitar, and began writing songs which blend tense, trance-like arpeggios with warm vocals and meditative lyrics about family and nature. Her first recordings were self-released in 2003 as Forest Parade. Her first solo public appearances were at the invitation of fellow Nevada City native Joanna Newsom.

[Intro]
Dm Am G x2
[Verse]
Dm Am G
The tops of crags and cliffs, the air is thin
Dm Am G
So we'll find a mountain path on down the hill
Dm Am G
Meet me where the snow mount flows
Dm Am G
It is there, my dear, where we will begin again
Dm Am G Dm Am G
Skipping stones, braiding hair
Dm Am G Dm Am G
Last year's antlers mark the trail
[Chorus] x2
Dm Am
Take us back, oh, take us back
G Dm Am G
Oh, take us, take us back
Dm G Am x4
Oooooh...
[Verse]
Dm Am G
I've a friend who lives out by the rivers mouth
Dm Am G
He knows the fiddles cry is an old sound
Dm Am G
A lonesome creeks and moans of empty houses
Dm Am G
Are songs of like fallen rain
Dm Am G Dm Am G
Windblown buildings, muddy ground
Dm Am G Dm Am G
The strength of water can sink a man
[Chorus] x2
Dm Am
Take us back, oh, take us back
G Dm Am G
Oh, take us, take us back
Dm G Am x4
Oooooh....
[Verse]
Dm Am G
When the higher hills have turned blue
Dm Am G
And the waves are lapping where the children grew
Dm Am G
All that we have know will be an echo
Dm Am G
Of days when love was true
Dm Am G Dm Am G
Muted voices just beyond
Dm Am G Dm Am G
The silent surface of what has gone
Dm G Am x4
Oooooh....
