Intro:

C Bb F C

Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me

C Bb F G

Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea

C Bb Dm C

Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind

C Bb F C

Pegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tin

C Bb F C

A kid knows what he wants to be before hes nine or ten

C Bb F G

Cowboys, clowns and men of war and someone elses friend

C Bb Dm C

But nine grows into big boys pants and then to scars and pain

C Bb F C

Twentys fast and hard as nails but doesnt come again

C Bb F C

Theres days to fall and days to rise and days for making haste

C Bb F G

Days for seeking out yourself but no days you can waste

C Bb Dm C

Night times filled with love so good it aches to rest it down

C Bb F C

Endless hallways dark with sleep and rivers dark with sound

C Bb F C

Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me

C Bb F G

Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea

C Bb Dm C

Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind

C Bb F C

Pegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tin

C Bb F C

Children climbing on my arms and pigeons on my head

C Bb F G

Get thee up my little man and dream a dream instead

C Bb Dm C

Dream a dream of rocking chairs and flying through the night

C Bb F C

Dream until the mornings gone and turned the dark to light

C Bb F C

Then come and get your daddy if he hasnt blown away

C Bb F G

Rock him in your childrens hands and help him find his way

C Bb Dm C

Take him to your hiding place and let him come inside

C Bb F C

Hell never tell your secret, cross my heart and hope to die

C Bb F C

Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me

C Bb F G

Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea

C Bb Dm C

Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
