Jim Lauderdale Eternal written by Jim Lauderdale
B D#m E F#
The calm that's often before storms yet had broken
B D#m E F#
Like two stars crossed lovers about to collide
D#m E D#m
And then the showers roll in
E D#m
The magic begins
E
It stops time
F#
Like it was eternal
B D#m
We met at infernal
E F#
Old Dante's inferno
B D#m E F#
That's open downtown real late for some coffee
D#m E D#m
At nine were talking fine
E D#m
Still staring at five
E F#
Stopped time like it was eternal
B D#m E F# B D#m E F#
Eternal
D#m E D#m E D#m
I finally know there's one place to go
E
To stop time
F#
Like it was eternal
B D#m E F#
I waltz when I mumble I smile when I stumble
B D#m E F#
Upon some new sweet thing without any trouble
D#m E D#m
And then the showers roll in
E D#m
The magic begins
E
It stops time
F#
Like it was eternal
B D#m E F# B D#m E F#
Eternal
