The stars in your Bbsky are the sFtars in mine
And both Cprisoners of Bbthis life are wFe
Through the Csame troubled Bbwaters we cFarry our time
CYou and the Bbconvicts and mFe

There's a Dmgood thing to Fknow Dmon the outside or FinDm  
To answer, not Fwhere, but Dmjust who I GamC  
[Verse 5]
Oh, the Chills that you Bbknow will remFain for you
And the Clittle willow Bbgreen will stand FfirmC  
And the flowers that we Bbplanted in the sFeasons past
Will all Cbloom on the Bbday you retFurn

To a Dmbaby at Fplay, Dmall a mother can FsayDm  
He'll return on the Fwind to our Dmhearts Guntil thenC  
[Verse 7]
I'll sit and I'll Bbwait by the sFtony gateC  
And the little one 'neath the Bbtrees will dFance
And dance

In my heart I will wait by the stony gate

There are friends I will make and bonds I will break

Through the same troubled waters we carry our time

You and the convicts and me

There's a good thing to know on the outside or in

To answer, not where, but just who I am

And the little willow green will stand firm

And the flowers that we planted in the seasons past

To a baby at play, all a mother can say

And the little one 'neath the trees will dance

And dance
