The ferry man brought me with mind open, dreaming,
FEmGC
we cut the depths with laughter.
CAmCAm
Stayed with my youth that God's tooth cut when weaning,
FGF
now and ever after.
F
The will of the void is to shape and name forms...
AmCAmC
our dance was never done, then.
F
I remember you well from before you were born,
AmCAmC
my chance was never won, then.

F
I burned the sports pages,
F
as I already knew the score.
CFAmF
Put faith in the fire,
CFAmF
forever and ever more.
CAm
Your colours of autumn,
CAm
you're burnished with gold there,
FEmGC
and standing in the river.
CAm
The circle of trees and
CAm
the full wish we told there,
FGF
truthful as a prison.
F
I looked at the mystery and all she evoked,
AmCAmC
my patron saint stood near her.
F
But the mystery walked and the mystery spoke,
AmCAmC
my saint said, "never fear her".

F
Now Mab is my queen, oh,
and Mab is my chief.
CFAmF
Mab is my root now,
CFAmF
my strong trunk and branch to the leaf.
CAm
The circle remains and still from its past;
FGFG
now waiting, now singing, now flying half-mast.
CAm
She is and she's whole, I'll know love again.
FGFG
I'll know my song well, each dying refrain.
CAm
Each cadence and twist, well-observed in its harmony.
FG
Silence come clean,
FAm
pull stillness for our lady.
AmC
Gypsy hymn sing we slow,
FGFG
and tenderly bear me on your west wind blow... your
AmC
gypsy hymn let me flow,
FGFAm
and sing me again before you got to go.
FGFC
Sing me again before you got to go.
