Green Willow Valley
From the album Unseen

INTRO:

C

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

In the cool of the evening,

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

I'm waiting here for you
