Intro
D# G#
[Verse 1]
D# G#
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
E C#
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
A# Cm
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
C#
But she was blind
A#
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
D# G#
The old king took her to his palace
D# C#
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
A# Cm F# A#
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
D#
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
G# A#
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
G# A#
And cloth of brocade and crewel
A#m
And I'll love you for life if you will
D# G#
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
D#maj7 G#
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
D# C#
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
A# Cm
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
C# C#maj7
The gift of sight
A#
He gave her sight
D# G#
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
D# C#
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
A# Cm
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
F# A#
"Come along
[Chorus]
D#
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
G# A#
We will dance on the coral beaches
G# A#
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
D# G7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
Cm C#
But the meadowlark said no
Cm C#
For the old king loved her so
A#m F# G#
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
C# C C# Am
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
Gm
He found his meadowlark had died
Am A#7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
D# G#
And what can I do if finally for the first time
D#maj7 C#
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
A# Cm
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
F#
Still I know
A#
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
D#
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
G# A#
So it's off where the days won't bind me
G# A#
I know I leave wounds behind me
D#
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
G# Gm A#
Before my past once again can blind me
N.B D# A#
Fly away
Cm
And we won't wait to say goodbye
G# Fm Gm F# A# D#
My beautiful young man and I
