[Verse 1]
[Am][G]
The lady comes to the [Am]gate
[G]dressed in lavender and leather
[Am]Looking North to [G]the sea she finds
the weather fine
She hears the [F]steeple bells
ringing through the orchard
All the way from town
[G]She watches sea[F]gulls fly
Silver on the ocean stitching through
the waves
[G]The edges of the sky

[Verse 2]
[G]
[Gm]Many people wander up the [Bb]hills
From all around [F]you
[C]Making up your memories and
[F]thinking they have found [C]you
[G]They cov[Am]er you with vei[G]ls of won[F]der
[C]as if you were a bride
[Am]Young men holding [G]violets are [F]curious
to know if you have [C]cried
[F]And tell you why
And ask you why
Any way you answer
[C]Lace around the collars of [F]the blouses

[Verse 3]
of the ladies
[C]Flowers from a Spanish fri[F]end of the family
[C]The embroid'ry of your life holds you[F] in
And keeps you out [C]but you survive
Imprisoned in your bones
Behind [F]the isinglass windows of [C]your [Em]eyes
And in the night [Am]the iron [G]wheels [F]rolling through the [G]rain

[Verse 4]
[F]
Down the hills through the long
grass [Am]to the sea
And in the dark the [G]hard
bells [F]ringing with pain
[G]Come [F]away [Bdim]alone[Am][F][G][F]
[G][F]

[Verse 5]
[G][Am][F][Am]
Even now by [G]the gate with you long
hair blowing
[Am]And the colors of the day [G]that
lie along your arms
You must barter [F]your life
to make sure you are living
[G]And the crowd that has [F]come
You give them the [G]colors
[F]And the bells [G]and wind and the dream
Will [C]there never be a prince who [F]rides along the sea and the [C]mountains

[Verse 6]
Scattering the sand and [F]foam
into amethyst [C]fountains
[Am]Rid ing up the h[G]ills from the [F]beach
in the long [C]summer grass
[Am]Holding the sun [G]in his hands [F]and shattering
the [C]isinglass?

[Verse 7]
[Gm]Day and night and day again and
[Bb]people come and go away [F]forever
While [C]the shining summer sea [F]dances in the
glass of your [C]mirror
[F]While you [G]search the waves [F]for love
and your visions [C]for a sign
The knot of tears [G]around your throat
[F]is crystallizing into your [C]design[F]
[Em]And in the night

[Verse 8]
[Am]the iron [G]wheels
[F]rolling through the rain
Down the hills through the long
[Am]grass to the sea
And in the dark [G]the hard
bell[F]s ringing [G]with pain
[F]Come awa[Am]y alo[G]ne
[F]Come [G]away [F]alo[G]ne[F][G]
[Am]with me.[F][G][F]
[G][G]
