lyrics

G
If I
were like
C
the meadow water,
I would

G
enter the field a trotter
C Am
but leave at a gallop

G
oh if I
were like
C
the meadow water
I would
G
come to the fields
Am
and cover all

G
Instead
I have tread
C
time in my
house that
G
lies atop the hills of chalk
C Am
and I have let

G
llamas
on the field
C
to chase the
foxes
G
from the flock that
C Am
nips at the March grass.

C G
Oh, oh, oh
Am C
Daylong, I drown,
Am C
daylong I drown
C G
Oh, oh, oh
Am C
but in this field,
Am C
drowning is floating,
G Am
drowning is floating.


G
I do
the slow
C
tasks—I bank,

I raise,
G
the careful acts that keep the
C Am
meadow from the marsh.

G
I am

the waterman
C
and I come
they say,
G
like an ice age. Every
C Am
year, I make

G
A bed
from bits
C
of broken flint
where the
G
water will flow and thaw
C Am
the flowerets of frost.
