Like the moon pulls on the water  
         F               C 
and the water pulls the sand

Like starlight drifts a billion years

to flicker once above your head

whisper 'cross the sky?

Can you hear the blades of grass  
 F              C 
calling to the light?

There are rivers underground

across the lonely night

I'm waiting here for you
