Intro
G# C#
[Verse 1]
G# C#
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
A F#
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
D# Fm
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
F#
But she was blind
D#
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
G# C#
The old king took her to his palace
G# F#
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
D# Fm B D#
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
G#
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
C# D#
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
C# D#
And cloth of brocade and crewel
D#m
And I'll love you for life if you will
G# C#
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
G#maj7 C#
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
G# F#
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
D# Fm
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
F# F#maj7
The gift of sight
D#
He gave her sight
G# C#
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
G# F#
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
D# Fm
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
B D#
"Come along
[Chorus]
G#
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
C# D#
We will dance on the coral beaches
C# D#
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
G# C7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
Fm F#
But the meadowlark said no
Fm F#
For the old king loved her so
D#m B C#
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
F# F F# Dm
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
Cm
He found his meadowlark had died
Dm D#7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
G# C#
And what can I do if finally for the first time
G#maj7 F#
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
D# Fm
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
B
Still I know
D#
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
G#
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
C# D#
So it's off where the days won't bind me
C# D#
I know I leave wounds behind me
G#
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
C# Cm D#
Before my past once again can blind me
N.E G# D#
Fly away
Fm
And we won't wait to say goodbye
C# A#m Cm B D# G#
My beautiful young man and I
