D Am lady on the water G D make me rich, make me poor, D C G lay your flowers at my door D Am lady on the water G D bring me branches, bring me twine C G wrap my heart upon the vine G E G with your wine dye my feathers D E G as the cock crows giving time awake, my lady on the water share my bread and share my drink pay no mind to what others think lady on the water with this wind and to flame with your grapes and bottled rain, make your wine of my worship a divinely strange refrain or make it rain my lady on the water place your thumb upon my tongue be the song no one has sung lady on the water with your jacket blue and strange change these rivers in my veins into wine, learning, burning, driven deep into this maze all of my days my lady on the water lead me from the wilderness to countless deserts, dreams, and jests lady on the water rest my head upon your chest leave me only when i'm blessed cause i'll be in my own country good and dead and gone to rest that's the way that's the best
