Intro
A# D#
[Verse 1]
A# D#
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
B G#
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
F Gm
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
G#
But she was blind
F
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
A# D#
The old king took her to his palace
A# G#
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
F Gm C# F
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
A#
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
D# F
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
D# F
And cloth of brocade and crewel
Fm
And I'll love you for life if you will
A# D#
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
A#maj7 D#
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
A# G#
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
F Gm
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
G# G#maj7
The gift of sight
F
He gave her sight
A# D#
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
A# G#
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
F Gm
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
C# F
"Come along
[Chorus]
A#
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
D# F
We will dance on the coral beaches
D# F
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
A# D7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
Gm G#
But the meadowlark said no
Gm G#
For the old king loved her so
Fm C# D#
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
G# G G# Em
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
Dm
He found his meadowlark had died
Em F7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
A# D#
And what can I do if finally for the first time
A#maj7 G#
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
F Gm
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
C#
Still I know
F
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
A#
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
D# F
So it's off where the days won't bind me
D# F
I know I leave wounds behind me
A#
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
D# Dm F
Before my past once again can blind me
N.F# A# F
Fly away
Gm
And we won't wait to say goodbye
D# Cm Dm C# F A#
My beautiful young man and I
