I [F] top the leaves neath an autumn moon, [G] though [F] soon the morn shall break
For life here is calm and cool, and the wild swans on the lake
Oh, the [Bbm] wild swans on the [Bb] lake, my [Fm] love, the wild swans on [G] the lake
[F] For life here is calm and cool, and the wild swans [Dm] on the lake
A [F]
lot of people pretended to hum as I [Bb] walked past [Db] them
[F]
An arch of willow or aspen there, candles [G]
hanging from the [Dm] silver birch
With a crown of daisies on your scented hair
For a bride thee I shall take, [F]
oh for a bride thee I shall take, my love
A bride thee [G] I shall take
With a crown of daisies on your scented hair
[F]
For a bride thee I shall take
And [Gb] such a bier I'll build [Fm]
for a love so fair
[Dm]
And built shall I with [Bbm]
[Fm] haste for our harp and youth's [F] surrounding tones
A child is on the way, a child is on the way, my [Fm] love, a child [G] is on the way
[F]
Harp and youth's surrounding tones, a child is on the way
This curve of track, this twist of heather, this folded map, this fluted land
This mossed stone, this fact of rock, [Fm] this rap of rain, this truest green
This song of wind, this song of spruce, this swan in flight, the moon's full face
This sun-bleached bone, this stunted pine, this cling to life, this turn of time
[F] The [N]
seasons shift and settle in, and a midday walk we will [Fm] take
The winter winds are
[F] soft and still, [Bb] but the [F] swans are on the lake
Oh, the [Bb] swans are on the lake, my [F]
[G] love, the swans are on the lake

And [Gb] such a bier I'll build [Fm]
for a love so fair
[Dm]

A child is on the way, a child is on the way, my [Fm] love, a child [G] is on the way
