Intro: F C F C Am C Am F x2
        C
Meet me at
St. Nicholas Among the oaks Behind the church
               Dm
That sway like pig-tailed girls
As 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 old
Under 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
