[Verse]
C [E-F] G
Listen easy, you can hear God calling
C F G F G
Walking barefoot by the stream
C [E-F] G
Come on to me, your hair's softly falling
C F G
On my face as in a dream
F C
And the time will be our time
F C Csus C
And the grass won't pay no mind
[Verse]
C [E-F] G
Saying nothing, lying where the sun is
C F G
Baking down upon our sides
C [E-F] G
My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses
C F G
Your hands gentle in reply
F C
And the time will be our time
F C G
And the grass won't pay no mind
[Middle 8]
C F
Child, touch my soul with your cries
G C
And the music will know what we've found
C F
I, hear a hundred good-byes
C Dm
But today I hear only one sound
C Dm
The moment we're living is now
Dm
Now now now now now now now
[break]
[Verse]
C [E-F] G
Young bird flying, and a soft wind blowing
C F G
Cools the sweat inside my palms
C [E-F] G
Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing
C F G
As you lay sleeping in my arms
F C
And the time will be our time
F C
And the grass won't pay no mind
F C
No the grass won't pay no mind
