[Intro]
G D G D
[Verse 1]
G D It don't ever rain here G D The sun just always shines G D Did I wander here one morning Em Or was I left behind?
[Verse 2]
G D The mist comes every dawnin' G D The heat comes every noon G D The dew comes every evening Em But honey, where are you? G D Honey, where are you?
[Verse 3]
G D I'm a blind man on the river G D Rowing with the tide G D My skin's cold and my bones shiver Em I need you by my side G D I need you by my side
[Verse 4]
G D The current never falters G D The river never bends G D I sleep here at your altar Em And wait for my compense
[Verse 5]
G D I'm younger, now I'm older G D Than I was when I come here G D Each day I wake up in the darkness Em Ready my boat and repeat my prayer G D My boat and repeat my prayer
[Verse 6]
G D I saw a shadow six days running G D In the shape of a man G D It's just the shifting branches of the willow Em As the wind crosses the bottom land
[Verse 7]
G D Your eyes, they can play tricks on you G D Out of the water, the moon appears G D In the river's deep reflection Em I see your face, my dear G D I see your face, my dear G D I'm a blind man on the river Em D Rowing with the tide
[Verse 8]
G D I tie my boat up in the evening G D To the branches of a birch tree G D I woke to a shining angel above me Em Her wings rustlin' in the eaves
[Verse 9]
G D Her voice had fell inside me G D Like the night upon my cheek G D The distant plains of Jordan Em D Lie lit beneath the pale moon's peak
[Verse 10]
G D I listen for the whippoorwill singing G D It's just silence all night through G D Just the sound of my oars in the water Em Honey, where are you? G D I'm a blind man on the river G D Rowing with the tide
