Intro: F C F C Am C Am F x2
C
Meet me atSt. Nicholas
Among the oaks
Behind the church
Dm
That sway like pig-tailed girlsAs summer wind whistles
C Around your bare-skin knees F And the forsythia leaves C In the shade
Lay with me
Tickled by
The feather reed
Dm
That's where the trees grow oldUnder the ivy's hold
C As you in my two arms F Equally safe from harm Dm And in a hazy day dream F Our bodies married the stream Am F And we grow down into pebbles and silt Dm The water ran from the fields F Until the oceans we filled C F And found the sea-bed the comfiest quilt Dm F There was more life in the weeds than in the few hundred seats Am F In rows from transept to chancel to nave Dm F And when their anger had paused, I turned and answered their calls Am F With your just audience, I'm the applause Dm F We take on the burden of all these sad-eyed children Am F With lilies bunched in our hands Dm F We fake our concern and speak softly as the surgeon Am F Tells wife to cancel her plans Dm F Take a body to water, take a body to tundra Am F Just take me with you as well
