G5
And all shall fade
G5
The flowers of spring
D5
The world and all the sorrow
F5
At the heart of everything

G5
But still it stays
G5
The butterflies sings
D5
And opens purple summer
F5
With the flutter of its wings

      C5     D5      C5  D5      G5
The Earth     will    wave with corn
      C5     D5      C5   D5          G5
The      gray- fly       choir will mourn
      C5     D5      C5   D5
And    mares   will     neigh  with
G5         D5             Bb5 F5            C5
Stallions that they mate, foals they've borne
Bb5                  F5            G5
And all shall know the wonder of purple summer

G5
And yet I wait
G5
The swallow brings
D5
A song too hard to follow
F5
That no one else can sing

G5
The fences sway
G5
The porches swing
D5
The clouds begin to thunder
F5
Crickets wander, murmuring

      C5     D5      C5  D5      G5
The Earth     will    wave with corn
      C5     D5      C5   D5          G5
The      gray- fly       choir will mourn
      C5     D5      C5   D5
And    mares   will     neigh  with
G5         D5             Bb5 F5            C5
Stallions that they mate, foals they've born

Bb5                  F5
And all shall know the wonder
Bb5            G5
I will sing the song of purple summer
Bb5                  F5
All shall know the wonder
Bb5            G5
I will sing the song of purple summer
Bb5                  F5            G5
All shall know the wonder of purple summer.
