[INTRO:] Am D7 Am D7 Am D7 Am D7 Am
[VERSE 1:]
Em Am
Sitting by a river
Em Am
On warm summer day
Em
Thinking of the giver
Am Em C
Who's also the taker away
D
Stunned by the suchness
G C ~ ~ Am D7 Am D7 Am
There's not a lot to say
[VERSE 2:]
Em Am
Warmed by the mystery
Em Am
Instead of being scared
Em
Touched by a raindrop
Am Em
Anointing my head
C D G
River, be my mirror
C ~ ~ Am D7 Am D7
Grass, be my bed
[VERSE 3:]
Am Em Am
Love is in the shadows
Em
Kissing leaves, one by one
Am Em
And where I go it follows
Am Em
And warms me with the sun
C D
Bright butterflying
G C ~ ~ Am D7 Am D7 Am
There's so much to be done
[VERSE 4:]
Am Em
And you lie here beside me
Am Em
Your perfume in my nose
Am Em
Your eyes do not deny me
Am Em
The space between us is closed
C D
We let the river speak for us
G C ~ ~ Am D7 Am D7 Am
There's nothing it does not know
[VERSE 5:]
Am Em
Flowing and ever changing
Am Em
Form in front of me
Am Em
Taking all your secrets
Am Em
To spill them in the sea
C D
Spare one drop of precious water
G C ~ ~ Am D7 Am D7 Am
Then I might be free
[VERSE 6:]
Em Am
Sitting by a river
Em Am
On warm summer day
Em
Thinking of the giver
Am Em C
Who's also the taker away
D
Stunned by the suchness
G C ~ ~
There's not a lot to say
