Intro
C# F#
[Verse 1]
C# F#
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
D B
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
G# A#m
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
B
But she was blind
G#
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
C# F#
The old king took her to his palace
C# B
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
G# A#m E G#
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
C#
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
F# G#
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
F# G#
And cloth of brocade and crewel
G#m
And I'll love you for life if you will
C# F#
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
C#maj7 F#
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
C# B
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
G# A#m
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
B Bmaj7
The gift of sight
G#
He gave her sight
C# F#
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
C# B
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
G# A#m
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
E G#
"Come along
[Chorus]
C#
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
F# G#
We will dance on the coral beaches
F# G#
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
C# F7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
A#m B
But the meadowlark said no
A#m B
For the old king loved her so
G#m E F#
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
B A# B Gm
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
Fm
He found his meadowlark had died
Gm G#7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
C# F#
And what can I do if finally for the first time
C#maj7 B
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
G# A#m
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
E
Still I know
G#
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
C#
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
F# G#
So it's off where the days won't bind me
F# G#
I know I leave wounds behind me
C#
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
F# Fm G#
Before my past once again can blind me
N.A C# G#
Fly away
A#m
And we won't wait to say goodbye
F# D#m Fm E G# C#
My beautiful young man and I
