Intro: A D A D Bm D Bm A (2x)
D
Meet me at
St. Nicholas
Among the oaks
Behind the church
Em
That sway like pig-tailed girls
As summer wind whistles
D
Around your bare-skin knees
A
And the forsythia leaves
D
In the shade
Lay with me
Tickled by
The feather reed
Em
That's where the trees grow old
Under the ivy's hold
D
As you in my two arms
A
Equally safe from harm
Em
And in a hazy day dream
G
Our bodies married the stream
Bm A
And we grow down into pebbles and silt
Em
The water ran from the fields
G
Until the oceans we filled
D A
And found the sea-bed the comfiest quilt
Em G
There was more life in the weeds than in the few hundred seats
Bm A
In rows from transept to chancel to nave
Em G
And when their anger had paused, I turned and answered their calls
Bm A
With your just audience, I'm the applause
Em G
We take on the burden of all these sad-eyed children
Bm A
With lilies bunched in our hands
Em G
We fake our concern and speak softly as the surgeon
Bm A
Tells wife to cancel her plans
Em G
Take a body to water, take a body to tundra
Bm A
Just take me with you as well
