The World To Come

C G Am G

      C               Dm            F
On my way through the wood wound a thread through the dream
Am          G
Nightfall, footfall
C           Dm           F
Trembling looking for cracks in the seam
Am          G
Tree tall, river call
F
Tumbling branches brushing the beach
 Dm                           C G
Across the river just out of re-a-ch
       C           Dm           F
We are sat in the wish and the wave of our willow
Am          G
Wondering, wondering
      C             Dm            F
Ran away from this swish and the shade of our pillows
Am          G
Conjuring, conjuring
 F
Waitin' for the lick of the wind
         Dm                                   C G Am G
And the rising sun draws a kiss from the bird s-o-o-o-ng

[single note] A    B     C
There’s a     blackbird perched
       Dm              F
in the branches of the silver birch
Em              G           C
Growing from my chambered heart
 Em                 G        C
Singing through the rising dark
  Em            G        C
Singing of the world to come

        C             Dm           F
Can you hear with thе ears of the owl and the ottеr
Am          G
Listening, listening
     C        Dm           F
An accordion plays as the day grows hotter
Am          G
Glistening, glistening
          F
There's a wildwood, starting its march
     Dm                           C G
As a kingfisher flashes over the ma-a-rsh
C          Dm            F
Far out to sea there's a strange kind of silence
Am        G
Gull cry, still sky
   C             Dm         F
A pause in the storm and a lull in the violence
Am        G
Sun high, fly by
 F
Breathing drops from fast to steady
Dm                                          C G Am G
Time slows down till we're caught in its eddy-y-y-y

[single note] A    B     C
There’s a     blackbird perched
       Dm              F
in the branches of the silver birch
Em              G           C
Growing from my chambered heart
 Em                 G        C
Singing through the rising dark
 Em             G        C
Singing of the world to come
Em             G       C
Singing of the rising sun
Em            G       C
Singing of forgotten floods
Em                  G        C
Singing through the ancient mud
Em               G        C
Singing with the opening flower
Em              G        C
Singing in this precious hour
Em             G        C
Singing of the broken word
Em             G          C
Singing of the tales you heard
Em              G        C
Singing of the dreamer's wood
Em            G          C
Singing of a glimpse of good
Em             G      C
Singing as the river flows
Em               G          C
Singing with the hope that grows
Em             G        C
Singing of the world to come
