        G
Meet me at
          C
St. Nicholas
           G
Among the oaks
           C
Behind the church

               D
That sway like pig-tailed girls
          D
As summer wind whistles
            C
Around your bare-skin knees
           G
And the forsythia leaves

       G
In the shade
         C
Lay with me
        G
Tickled by
            C
The feather reed

                 D
That's where the trees grow old
          D
Under the ivy's hold
          C
As you in my two arms
        G
Equally safe from harm

         C
And in a hazy day dream
           C
Our bodies married the stream
            Em                    D
And we grow down into pebbles and silt

          C
The water ran from the fields
          C
Until the oceans we filled
              Em                   D
And found the sea-bed the comfiest quilt

               C                             C
There was more life in the weeds than in the few hundred seats 
             Em                     D
In rows from transept to chancel to nave
               C                              C
And when their anger had paused, I turned and answered their calls 
               Em                D
With your just audience, I'm the applause
   C                  C
We take on the burden of all these sad-eyed children
Em                         D
With lilies bunched in our hands
   C                    C
We fake our concern and speak softly as the surgeon
Em                       D
Tells wife to cancel her plans

C                     C              Em
Take a body to water, take a body to tundra
                         D
Just take me with you as well
