Water from Another Time
Chords
F C G C
New mown hay on a July morn
F F/A C
Grandkids running through the knee-high corn
G C F
Sunburned nose and a scabbed-up knee
C G/B
From a rope on the white oak tree
G C F
Just another summer's day at Grandpa's farm
C F
With Grandma's bucket hanging off my arm
F C
You know, the old pump's rusty but it works fine
G C
Primed with water from another time
CHORUS:
F C G/B C
It don't take much, but you gotta have some
F F/A C
The old ways help the new ways come
G C F
Just leave a little extra for the next in line
F C G C
They're gonna need a little water from another time
F C G C
Tattered quilt on the goose-down bed
F F/A C
"Every stitch tells a story," my Grandma said
G C F
Her mama's nightgown, her grandpa's pants
C G/B
And the dress she wore to her high school dance
G C F
Now wrapped at night in its patchwork scenes
C F
I waltz with Grandma in my dreams
F C
My arms, my heart, my life entwined
G C
With water from another time
CHORUS
F C G/B C
Newborn cry in the morning air
F F/A C
The past & future are wedded there
G C F
This wellspring of my sons and daughters:
C G/B
The bone and blood of living waters
G C F
And, though Grandpa's hand have gone to dust,
C F
Like Grandma's pump: reduced to rust,
F C
Their stories quench my soul and mind
G C
Like water from another time
CHORUS
