Verse 1
(A minor) (G major)
The lady comes to the (A minor) gate
(G major) dressed in lavender and leather
(A minor) Looking North to the sea (G major) she finds
the weather fine
She hears the (F major) steeple bells
ringing through the orchard
All the way from town
(G major) She watches (F major) seagulls fly
Silver on the ocean stitching through
the waves
(G major) The edges of the sky
Verse 2
(G major)
(G minor) Many people wander up the (B flat major) hills
From all around (F major) you
(C major) Making up your memories and
(F major) thinking they have found (C major) you
(G major) They (A minor) cover you with (G major) veils of (F major) wonder
as if you were a bride (C major)
(A minor) Young men holding (G major) violets are (F major) curious
to know if you have (C major) cried
(F major) And tell you why
And ask you why
Any way you answer
(C major) Lace around the collars (F major) of the blouses

Verse 3
of the ladies
(C major) Flowers from a Spanish (F major) friend of the family
(C major) The embroid'ry of your life holds (F major) you in
And keeps you out (C major) but you survive
Imprisoned in your bones
Behind (F major) the isinglass windows of (C major) your (E minor) eyes
And in the night (A minor) the iron (G major) wheels (F major) rolling through the (G major) rain
Verse 4
(F major)
Down the hills through the long
grass (A minor) to the sea
And in the dark the (G major) hard
bells (F major) ringing with pain
Come (G major) away (F major) (Bdim) (A minor) alone (F major) (G major) (F major)
(G major) (F major)
Verse 5
(G major) (A minor) (F major) (A minor)
Even now by the gate (G major) with you long
hair blowing
(A minor) And the colors of the day (G major) that
lie along your arms
You must barter (F major) your life
to make sure you are living
(G major) And the crowd that has (F major) come
You give them the (G major) colors
(F major) And the bells and wind (G major) and the dream
Will (C major) there never be a prince who (F major) rides along the sea and the (C major) mountains
Verse 6
Scattering the sand and (F major) foam
into amethyst (C major) fountains
(A minor) Rid ing up the (G major) hills from the (F major) beach
in the long (C major) summer grass
(A minor) Holding the sun (G major) in his hands (F major) and shattering
the (C major) isinglass?
Verse 7
(G minor) Day and night and day again and
(B flat major) people come and go away (F major) forever
While (C major) the shining summer sea (F major) dances in the
glass of your (C major) mirror
(F major) While you (G major) search the waves (F major) for love
and your visions (C major) for a sign
The knot of tears (G major) around your throat
(F major) is crystallizing into your (C major) design (F major)
(E minor) And in the night
Verse 8
(A minor) the iron (G major) wheels
(F major) rolling through the rain
Down the hills through the long
grass (A minor) to the sea
And in the dark (G major) the hard
bell (F major) s ringing with pain (G major)
(F major) Come away (A minor) alone (G major)
(F major) Come away (G major) (F major) (G major) alone (F major) (G major)
(A minor) with me. (F major) (G major) (F major)
(G major) (G major)
