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
