G D Em Em C C D D x2
G C G G
[Verse 1]
G D Em Em
Climbing up that cascade river
C C D D
It was the height of summer
G D Em Em
Drinking in the earth and sky,
C C D D
Like we'd seen all water
[Verse 2]
G D Em Em
High above the mountain
C C D D
The falcons sail majestic

Stopped our hearts as like a storm
C C D D D D G G G G
We fell into the valley like a dream

G D Em Em
Passing by the dark woods
C C D D
We followed up that river
G D Em Em
Found a pool of stone and light
C C D D
Held there by its beauty
[Verse 4]
G D Em Em
Like children from a bygone ag
C C D D
Naked laughing in the water
G D Em Em
Years fell away like snow in June
C C D D D D G G G G
Banished by our laughter like a dream
[Chorus]

When city sounds they crowd me
C C G G
And I feel like I'm in prison
C C G G
In my heart I always fly
G G D D D D
Back to that cascade river
[Verse 5]
G D Em Em
To that special day in summer
C C D D
To that kingdom of the falcon

Wash my soul in that cold, cold stream

Hear the children's laughter like a dream
