To sit with el ders of the gen tle race,

They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be (D7)re vealed.

Oh, Talk and song from (D)tongues of lilt ing trace,

whose sounds ca ress (D7)my dream.

But not a word I (D)heard could I re late,

the sto ry was quite (D7)clear.

My Oh.

I will re turn a (D7)gain.

Sure Oh.

When I’m (Gm)on,

when I’m on my way, yeah.

When I (Gm)see,

when I see the way you (A)stay.
