Intro: Bm A G Bm A D

   Bm   A         G
So many paths not taken
   Bm   A       D
So many words unsaid
         F#m    G         Em
Though I travel far, they bind me
     Bm      A       Bm
In a web of golden thread

(A G Bm G)(A G D)
(A G Bm G)(A G Bm)

       Bm           A     G
On the bank, three women passing
      Bm      A       D
They measure time for me
       F#m    G      Em
In the mirror of the water
      Bm      A     Bm
They can but darkly see

       Bm      A        G
I will walk beyond the meadows
        Bm      A       D
With a child in either hand
           F#m    G      Em
Through the rivers many shadows
        Bm         A      Bm
We will pass from land to land

(A G Bm G)(A G D)
(A G Bm G)(A G Bm)

         Bm   A     G
All the promises unspoken
         Bm      A             D
Lie like fallen leaves on the ground
         F#m       G      Em
But the thread is still unbroken
        Bm     A      Bm
And the hidden may be found

          Bm      A          G
When the wheeling birds are leaving
      Bm      A       D
They pass the sinking sun
         F#m    G      Em
We will travel with the river-man
       Bm      A       Bm
Until time and time is run.
