Down to the valley where the fortunes grow

Down to the free

C G Am G F D

That gathered holy 'round the fire that grows so well

G C G

On with the laughter when the work is done

It is what it is

C G Am G F D

A passing work of human hands where faults abound

G C G

While the rains would come

C G

While the end was unknown

Nothing had proved too much

C G

No path was solely my own

C G C

G C G

Most of the daylight nothing filled my mind

C G

Quiet was I

C G Am G F D

And I was held away from evil that spoke my name

G C G

All he was wanting was a bumbling man

C G

I wouldn't go

C G Am G F D

Wanting only to feel the time around me stay

G C G

While the rains would come

C G

While the end was unknown

Nothing had proved too much

No path was solely my own
