Intro
F A#
[Verse 1]
F A#
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
F# D#
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
C Dm
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
D#
But she was blind
C
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
F A#
The old king took her to his palace
F D#
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
C Dm G# C
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
F
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
A# C
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
A# C
And cloth of brocade and crewel
Cm
And I'll love you for life if you will
F A#
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 A#
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
F D#
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
C Dm
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
D# D#maj7
The gift of sight
C
He gave her sight
F A#
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
F D#
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
C Dm
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
G# C
"Come along
[Chorus]
F
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
A# C
We will dance on the coral beaches
A# C
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
F A7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
Dm D#
But the meadowlark said no
Dm D#
For the old king loved her so
Cm G# A#
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
D# D D# Bm
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
Am
He found his meadowlark had died
Bm C7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
F A#
And what can I do if finally for the first time
Fmaj7 D#
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
C Dm
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
G#
Still I know
C
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
F
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
A# C
So it's off where the days won't bind me
A# C
I know I leave wounds behind me
F
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
A# Am C
Before my past once again can blind me
N.C# F C
Fly away
Dm
And we won't wait to say goodbye
A# Gm Am G# C F
My beautiful young man and I
