Chords

[Verse 1]
Dm                              Bb
Mother I can hear your footfall now

Dm                               Bb
Soft disturbance in the deadfall how

   Dm                              Bb
It proceeds you like a black smoke pall

          Dm               Bb
Still the wanting comes in waves
[Verse 2]

 And you delivered me from danger then

Pulled my cradle from the reedy glen

Dm                                 Bb
Swore to save me from the world of men

In waves

Annointed you with lotion
