[Verse 1]
N.C. E C#m
In an earlier time, in a green land above,
E A B
By the mill and the willows we made fairytale love,
F#m C#m
With the sky a warm blanket, and our backs to the rain,
A B E
We thought that our pleasure would always remain.
[Verse 2]
E C#m
No blemish of lust, flesh unfreckled by sin,
E A B
A heart made like clockwork, white marble for skin,
F#m C#m
Still waters green pastures, with one caress of your hand,
A B E
I swear even the wild dog lies down with the lamb.
[Verse 3]
E C#m
We thought that our pleasure would always remain,
E A B
Soft fairytale kisses again and again,
F#m C#m
The last moment we touched, by the river you shone,
A
The black swan spread its wings and hissed,
B E
Lo! the night came on.

In an earlier time, in a green land above,

With the sky a warm blanket, and our backs to the rain,

We thought that our pleasure it would always remain.
