[Intro]
G G G G

[Verse 1]
G           C         G
Gone is the hurt, the wait
            C         Em
Gone is the warmth of day
  Am                          G       C
A stray boat saved, happy memories engraved
D         Em      C
On into a velvety night
  D       Bm     Em
Beneath a lanternlight

[Chorus]
G                      C           G
Last night brought the heaviest of snows
            C        Em
Melting the songs of old
Am                      B       C
Tying the boat, write a new one soon
D                 Em       C
Sending me to the drowning moon
    D       Bm     Em
Far above a lanternlight

[Verse 2]
Dm         Gm        Dm
I'm in the light and flood
           C    Dm
I'm in the four winds
Gm                                 A#
I am the waves shaping pebbles flawless gems
C                     Dm   D
I am the snow on your palm

[Chorus]
Em       C      Em
I am the secret stream
Am     G     D    Em
Moss beneath your feet
D            Em               C
I am you who climbed off of my back
         D
Not long ago
                 Em             C
A sheltered song in a world now gone
     D
Petrichor
        Em
The timeless

[Bridge]
               C   Am  Em
Turn loose the swaying boat
           G     D  Em
Meltwater, sound of spring
D          Em                    C
I hear our song now, sung by the free
      D
For a thousand more tomorrows
      Em    C
Of an incomplete weave
       D
To the meadows I go
        Am          Em
I’ll be waiting for you
     D      Bm D  C
Once upon a lanternlight

[Outro]
C C G G C C Em Em
C C G G  Am Am Em Em
C                     G
I walk now toward the trees
C               Em
I am the secret stream
    C                   G
The night falling at my feet
Am                 Em
Into the forest of Yesterwynde
E E E E E E E E
E E E E E E E E
