(D minor) Will Syme's (F major) last lamb is born.
He strides out from (D minor) Currie
Lea (A minor) past (F major) Crichton
and through the tall (D minor) Scots pines.
(F major) The sky melts, (D minor) amber,

(F major) her clear true voice
(D minor) lilting through the heather
in among (F major) st the larks for
the (D minor) first time
since he left that (F major) desert war.
There she sits with (D minor) her narrow back (F major) to him,
(D minor) her black hair tumbling down (A minor) her spine,
(F major) her bare feet dangling in fallow
flow. (D minor)
