[Intro] Em D C [Verse 1]
             Em
Call on that saint

                    Bm
and the candle that burns

            C       D
keeping her safe

          C
until her return.

           G        D
Paster and paint

            Em      D
holding the fire.

               C    D
A poor woman's saint

                  Em
holding all man's desire.
[Verse 2]
            Em
Bold little bird

         Bm
fly away home.

                 C       D
Could I but ride herd

                    C
on the wind and the foam.

           G             D
All of the souls

                 Em      D
that curl by the fire,

           C             D
they never know

           Em
all man's desire.
[Verse 3]
           Em
Watercress clings

                    Bm
to the banks of the stream

                     C        D
in the first grip of spring

                       C
when the snow melts to green.

             G             D
Barefoot and cold,

              Em           D
and holding a lyre

                   C       D
by the side of the road

                  Em
holding all man's desire.
[Verse 4]
            Em
Call on the saint

                      Bm
when the white candle burns.

            C         D
Keeping her safe

          C
until her return.
