[Verse]
                          A   
Moon and stars sit way up high
          D                     
Earth and trees beneath them lie
                        A      
The wind blows fragrant lullaby
        D                      
To cool the night for you and I
D7        D                  A   
■  On the wing the birds fly free
                      D  
Leviathan tames angry sea
                     A       
The flower waits for honeybee
    D                           
The sunrise wakes new life in me

■ The fishes swim while rivers run
                  D                 
Through fields to feast my eyes upon
                     A   
Intoxicated drinking from
    D                        
The loving cup of burning sun
                              A    
In dreams I'll crave familiar taste
   D                           
Of whispered rain on weary face
                         A      
Of kisses sweet and warm embrace
D                         
Another time another place
