E Icy wind of night be gone. This is not your domain. In the sky a bird was heard to cry. A Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sound E Belied a deathly silence that lay all around. Chorus: A G F#m E Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground. A G F#m E See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. A G F#m E And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees, A G F#m E Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea. In the lazy water meadow I lay me down All around me golden sun flakes settle on the ground Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room Chorus: Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox Gone to ground See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, making for the sea In the lazy water meadow I lay me down All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon Bringing sounds of yesterday into my city room Chorus: Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox Gone to ground See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, making for the sea | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsA E F#m G |
