Am


[Verse 1]
N.C.          E                      C#m
In an earlier time, in a green land above,
                    E      A                  B
By the mill and the willows we made fairytale love,
                    F#m                           C#m
With the sky a warm blanket, and our backs to the rain,
                    A       B               E
We thought that our pleasure would always remain.


[Verse 2]
              E                         C#m
No blemish of lust, flesh unfreckled by sin,
                  E        A                  B
A heart made like clockwork, white marble for skin,
                   F#m                               C#m
Still waters green pastures, with one caress of your hand,
                 A       B                   E
I swear even the wild dog lies down with the lamb.


[Verse 3]
                    E                       C#m
We thought that our pleasure would always remain,
               E     A           B
Soft fairytale kisses again and again,
                   F#m                       C#m
The last moment we touched, by the river you shone,
                          A
The black swan spread its wings and hissed,
B                  E
Lo! the night came on.

[Verse 4]
              E                      C#m
In an earlier time, in a green land above,
                    E      A                  B
By the mill and the willows we made fairytale love,
                    F#m                           C#m
With the sky a warm blanket, and our backs to the rain,
                    A       B                  E
We thought that our pleasure it would always remain.
