^ASee the bracken green on the hills ^ESee the gifts of every summer ^F#mSuns sinking low in the long grass ^DAlways rising and falling ^Edown

[Verse 2]

^ATheres bluebells growing under the trees ^EAnd I will be there in June ^F#mI will walk back down the river ^DTo some unknown salva^Etion

[Chorus]

^F#mTaking me ^Eback again ^AMemories of the incomplete ^F#mThe birch, the oak, the ^Erowan And the ^Aaccordions down in the hall ^F#mBy the riverside As if ^EGod hadnt ^Ahappened at all Stealing heaven from a moon-lit ^Ddoor Taking me back down the ^F#mrailroad tracks To get ^Elost in it ^Aall

^EOn the ^Ayoung ploughed fields I kissed your eyes A ^Ecrown of songs around your head And ^F#mby the railings at the harbor wall The ^Dradios played

[Verse 3]

^ANever thought I could look upon ^ESomething so beautiful, so pure ^F#mBrighter than sun on snow In ^Dsome new enchanted garden

[Chorus]

^F#mShe said weve been ^Ehere before As the ^Askies are slashed by flames Our ^F#mcitadels come crashing ^Edown ^AA constant sea, a war of waves ^F#mLay down your life ^Efor me ^ALay down your love again ^DWell talk it over ^AAnd we ll wa^Eken ^ALike kings some day
