Saint Francis walking on the water
                   C/G     G      
All his lambs have gone to 
     D
slaughter
                            C
And all the creatures who receive 
his grace
    G                       D     
You can see them all in his 
         G
haggard face


                      C/G    
Saint Francis begging at your 
 G
doorway
You want to let him in, but what 
         C/G        G     D
will the neighbours say
And you know you can't go on, but 
    C
you can't give up
       G                    D     
And he answers you with his 
        G
begging cup

Saint Francis sitting at your table
              C/G      G          D
A cup of tea among the faithful
                            C
Behind a wall that's made of little 
lies
        G                  D      
Much to your surprise, you start 
        G    D
to cry


BRIDGE:
And by these wounds you will be 
C
whole again
         G              D
By these signs you will know
                               C   
You'll feel a stirring in your soul

Saint Francis sleeping in the meadow
              C/G     G        D
His halo is a raven's shadow
                             C
He's been sleeping for eight hundred
 years
     G                     
In a potter's field full of 
 D
sparrow's tears
And while we sleep and dream of 
C
heaven's gates
     G                 D          
Down here on earth the old man 
     G
waits
