lyrics

The Village

Gm7 C7
Catch your eye, wait for the thieving moment to surprise
A A/Bb…
Constant are the boney trees that bend
Dm Ddim7
They only lend a globe to me

Gm7 C7
Waterfall, by a lake was where we walked too tall
A A/Bb
Served too cold without warmth or grief
Dm Ddim7
We shared our all with teeth and tongues

F F7
So watch me, I’m alive over you
Bb Bbm F C F C
Leap over stiles for you, and use my soul as a shield

Gm7 C7
Further down, the road of thorns that lined hill and town
A A/Bb
Have been blunted to receive no ill
Dm Ddim7
And it’s summer still where we stood

F F7
So watch me, I’m alive over you
Bb Bbm F C F C C7
Leap over stiles for you, and use my soul as a shield

Bbm F#
We’ve found a place at last
Bbm F#
Beside ‘keep of the grass’
Ab7 C7
In the village…

Gm7 C7
Like or not, let the furnishings decay and rot
A A/Bb
Allow the wind to blow our house away
Dm Ddim7
Because we strayed once with love

F F7
So watch me, I’m alive over you
Bb Bbm F C F C
Leap over stiles for you, feel my hand steer our keep

F F7
When my breath escapes with yours
Bb Bbm F C C7 F Bb F
And our fingers clutch as claws, we’ll find the globe was ours
