[Intro]
E
[Verse]
The Aback of the winter is broDken
And light lingers Elong by the Adoor
The seeds of the summer have spoDken
In gowans that Ebloom on the Ashore
[Chorus]
By Enight and day we'll Asport and we'll Dplay
And deAlight as the dawn dances over the Ebay
Sleep blows the breath of the Amorning aDway
And we Efollow the Aheron Dhome
[Verse]
In Adarkness we cradled our sorDrow
And stoked all our Efires with Afear
These bones that lie empty and holDlow
Are ready for Egladness to Acheer
[Chorus]
By Enight and day we'll Asport and we'll Dplay
And deAlight as the dawn dances over the Ebay
Sleep blows the breath of the Amorning aBmway
And we Efollow the Aheron Dhome
[Verse]
ALong may you sing of the salDmon
And the snow-scented Esound of your Ahome
While the north wind delivers its serDmon
Of ice and salt Ewater and Astone
[Chorus]
By Enight and day we'll Asport and we'll Dplay
And deAlight as the dawn dances over the Ebay
Sleep blows the breath of the Amorning aDway
And we Efollow
[Chorus]
By night and day we'll Asport and we'll Dplay
And deAlight as the dawn dances over the Ebay
Sleep blows the breath of the Amorning aDway
And we Efollow the Aheron Dhome

The back of the winter is broken

And light lingers long by the door

The seeds of the summer have spoken

In gowans that bloom on the shore

[Chorus]

E A D

By night and day we'll sport and we'll play

A E

And delight as the dawn dances over the bay

A D

Sleep blows the breath of the morning away

E A D

And we follow the heron home

[Verse]

A D

In darkness we cradled our sorrow

E A

And stoked all our fires with fear

These bones that lie empty and hollow

E A

Are ready for gladness to cheer

[Chorus]

By night and day we'll sport and we'll play

And delight as the dawn dances over the bay

Sleep blows the breath of the morning away

And we follow the heron home

[Verse]

Long may you sing of the salmon

E A

And the snow-scented sound of your home

While the north wind delivers its sermon

E A

Of ice and salt water and stone

[Chorus]

E A D

By night and day we'll sport and we'll play

A E

And delight as the dawn dances over the bay

A D

Sleep blows the breath of the morning away

And we follow

[Chorus]

A D

By night and day we'll sport and we'll play

A E

And delight as the dawn dances over the bay

Sleep blows the breath of the morning away

E A D

And we follow the heron home
