C Am C Am The morning bright and still has laid a frost across the hill C F C And the glory of it takes my breath away C Am C Am The birdsong in the trees floating on the ghost of a breeze C F C Says, You're lucky to be a creature alive today C G F C The rosy-fingered dawn is changing colour in the east C F G Like in ancient days we'll never see again [Chorus] C Am C Am Once we were together, that I do remember C F C All the rest is like a letter in the rain [Verse 2] C Am C Am So I go to check my snares, see what night caught unawares C F C I take the path along the creek again C Am C Am In the garden of delight, a snake slithered into sight C F C So we left Eden and headed for the plain C G F C Day by day and night by night, she didn't leave my side C F G Now she never wants to see my face again [Chorus] C Am C Am Once we spoke in love's low tongue, all the bells at midnight rung C F C All the rest is like a letter in the rain [Bridge] Dm Em F G There's a river somewhere up around the bend Dm Em F G When it hurts, that river's always been my friend C G F C C F G C G F C C F G [Verse 3] C G F C The frost has gone now from the hill, like a vision in a dream C F G You never know when glory will come again [Chorus] C Am C Am I remember her dark stare and a braid of nut-brown hair C F C All the rest is just a letter in the rain
