Raindrops and tears wash the cheeks of my lover,

There's a man in a cradle, he shouts at the shore,

Like summer and stars we are constant forever,

Hey nonny nonny nonny, hey nonny day

Caressing his guts in a warm soft bed,

And it's hey nonny nonny nonny, hey nonny day
[Verse 4]
E C Am E
Oh a white dove sleeps on the blue hills of morning,
C G
Hey nonny nonny nonny, hey nonny day,
E C Am E
And when he awakes the wild geese will be flying,
C G
Hey nonny nonny nonny, hey nonny day
[Chorus 4]
G G
There's a man in a cradle all painted in black,
G D E
Goes down into the earth, and there's no turning back,
E
No there's no turning back,
C G D
And it's hey nonny nonny nonny, hey nonny nonny nonny day
