[Intro:]Mmm...aa, mmm...aa (A ....thread of morning turns) [Verse 1] You meet me where the ash tree leans Above the moss beside the gate Your fingers warm the folded map Before the road can name our fate [Pre-Chorus] Mmm...aa.., I feel you near Mmm..aa..., the way grows clear [Chorus:jazz, impuls] Keep my word beneath your tongue Carry it where the hills are young When the long dusk fills the land Find me by the waiting hand Mmm...aa.., we rise, we sway Mmm...aa.., then drift away [Verse 2] A small bell trembles in the chapel Rain gathers silver on the wall You leave a sprig beside the basin And make the narrow room feel tall [Pre-Chorus] Mmm..aa..., beneath the stone Mmm..aa..., I’m not alone [Chorus] Keep my word beneath your tongue Carry it where the hills are young When the long dusk fills the land Find me by the waiting hand Mmm...ah, we rise, we sway Mmm....ah, then drift away [Bridge] If the path gives out at evening Set a cup beside the flame I will follow cloth and footsteps I will answer when you call my name [Layered Response] Mmm...aa.., we know the way Mmm—aa.., we know the way Mmm....aa.., through the fern and clay [Bridge Bloom] You are the hush beneath the water You are the grain inside the reed Every kindness gathered from you Is the shelter that I need [Final Chorus] Keep my word beneath your tongue Carry it where the hills are young Though the seasons alter every stone Something faithful leads me home Mmm—aa.., in the falling rain Mmm—aa.. we meet again Mmm—aa.., we meet again [Outro] Mmm..aa, softer now Mmm..ao, under the bough Mmm..aa..
