[Verse 1]
D A D D/E D/F# G While travelling northwards on a back country lane Bm Em Bm I came on the village where first I grew D A D D/E D/F# G And stopped to climb up the hill once a- gain Bm Em Bm Looking down from the tracks to the grey slate roofs Bm A Bm A I watched the village moving as the day went slowly by D A/C# Bm A G D/F# Em In the fields we lay here my very first love and I Bm A E Under timeless arcadian skies Bm A G Under timeless arcadian skies

D A D D/E D/F# G The old canal lies sleeping under the sky Bm Em Bm The barges are gone to a lost decade D A D D/E D/F# G On overgrown banks here lovers' footsteps went by Bm Em Bm Long before ever the roads were made Bm A Bm A And in our turn we passed here and carved our names on trees D A/C# Bm A G D/F# Em As the days washed by like waves of an endless sea Bm A E Under timeless arcadian skies Bm A G Under timeless arcadian skies

[Verse 3]
D A D D/E D/F# G I left the village behind in the night Bm Em Bm To fade like a sail in the darkening seas D A D D/E D/F# G The shifts and changes in the patterns of life Bm Em Bm Will weather it more than the centuries Bm A Bm A And in another village in a far off foreign land D A/C# Bm A G D/F# Em The new day breaks out opening up its hand Bm A E And the sun has the moon in his eyes Bm A G As he wanders the timeless skies
