From the album Unseen

INTRO:

VERSE 1:

     C     F    C
Like the moon pulls on the water
     F        C
and the water pulls the sand
    Dm        Am
Like starlight drifts a billion years
   F      C
to flicker once above your head

VERSE 2:

    C  F    C
The cicadas in the oak trees
   F       C
are singing to the sky
  Dm      Am
and I am calling out to you
  F     G   C
across this silent night

CHORUS:
 F        C
Come back to the valley,
     Am     F
to the green willow valley
    Fm     C
In the cool of the evening,
   F    G    C
I'm waiting here for you

VERSE 3:

     C    F    C
Can you feel the wings of birds
 F         C
whisper 'cross the sky?
 Dm        Am
Can you hear the blades of grass
 F       C
calling to the light?

VERSE 4:

      C   F   C
There are rivers underground
 F        C
rushing cold and wild
  Dm      Am
and I am calling out to you
  F    G   C
across the lonely night

CHORUS:

 F        C
Come back to the valley,
     Am     F
to the green willow valley

I'm waiting here for you

BRIDGE:

    Am      Em
We'll lie under the willows
   F       C
in a bed of fallen leaves
Am        Em
I will bring you apples
   F        C  G G7
and water from the stream

VERSE 5:

C    F     C
I will pull the thorns
F          C
from your blistered feet
Dm         Am
Can't you hear me calling
     F   G    C
in the whisper of the trees?

CHORUS:

 F        C
Come back to the valley,
     Am     F
to the green willow valley
    Fm     C
In the cool of the evening,

I'm waiting here for you

In the cool of the evening,
   F    G    C
I'm waiting here for you
