Key: G
Introduction: Dm Am G
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
Dm Am
Take us back, oh, take us back
G Dm Am G
Oh, take us, take us back
x2
Dm G Amx3
Oooooh...
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
Dm Am
Take us back, oh, take us back
G Dm Am G
Oh, take us, take us back
x2
Dm G Amx3
Oooooh...
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 Amx3
Oooooh...
