Fmaj7                         Dm7     Gm7
Among the fields of straw and stover,
                   G7
Clocked in 'til the work day's over.
Em              A7      Dm7            E7
Time's a gentle stream, longer than it seems.
Am            Am7/G  Am6/F#     
Patient is the night.
Fmaj7                     Dm7       Gm7
Oh, how I long to see her face now-
           G7
Her starry moonlit gaze now.
Em                 A7
I know she's never late,
Dm7
Still anxiously I wait.
Am7/G          Am6/F#   
Patient is the night.
