Intro: Bm A G Bm A D 

   Bm   A         G 
So many paths not taken 
   Bm   A       D 
So many words unsaid 
         F#m    G         Em 
Though I travel far, they bind me 
     Bm      A       Bm 
In a web of golden thread 

(A G Bm G)(A G D) 
(A G Bm G)(A G Bm) 

       Bm           A     G 
On the bank, three women passing 
      Bm      A       D 
They measure time for me 
       F#m    G      Em 
In the mirror of the water 
      Bm      A     Bm 
They can but darkly see 

       Bm      A        G 
I will walk beyond the meadows 
        Bm      A       D 
With a child in either hand 
           F#m    G      Em 
Through the rivers many shadows 
        Bm         A      Bm 
We will pass from land to land 

(A G Bm G)(A G D) 
(A G Bm G)(A G Bm) 

         Bm   A     G 
All the promises unspoken 
         Bm      A             D 
Lie like fallen leaves on the ground 
         F#m       G      Em 
But the thread is still unbroken 
        Bm     A      Bm 
And the hidden may be found 

          Bm      A          G 
When the wheeling birds are leaving 
      Bm      A       D 
They pass the sinking sun 
         F#m    G      Em 
We will travel with the river-man 
       Bm      A       Bm 
Until time and time is run.
