Then it came to me in a flash of light
Fm
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night

In the bottom of the barrel, on the longest day

In the hardest winter, in the falling rain

Held my head up and it struck me down

Down to the ground

And it struck me down, struck me down

Struck me down to the ground

When it ain't up, wonder where it go

Hold the sea as somewhere to row

Wondering 'bout where do we go
Fm
Until then, we boat
