Lyrics

Lis ten eas y,

you can hear God call in’,

walk in’ bare foot up on by a stream.

Come un to me,

your hair soft ly fall in’

on my face as in a dream.

And the (F)time

will be

our (C)time,

and the (F)grass

(C)won’t (F)pay

no (C)mind.

Say in’ noth in’,

ly in’ where the sun is

bak in’ down in up on side my palms.

My lips touch you

with their soft, wet kiss es,

your hands gen

tle in re ply.

And the (F)time

will

be

our

(C)time,

and the (F)grass

(C)won’t

(F)pay

no (C)mind.

(C)mind.

(C)Child,

touch my soul with your cries, and the (G)mu sic will know what we’ve found.

I

hear a hun dred good byes but to (C)day I hear on ly one (Dm)sound.

The (C)mo ment we’re liv ing is (Dm)now.

Na, na, na, na.

(C)mind.

No, the (F)grass (C)won’t

(F)pay

no (C)mind.
