Intro, Bm
D Bm
I remember the promise that you made in the barn
D Bm
when the kittens were born and you could not keep warm
D Bm
so you moved away the mountains that the sun rose behind
D Bm
and you said yourself a prayer and laid down with the blind
A /b D
but you lost them in your freedom and you need him now you're wild
A D
blessed is the memory of everybody's child

And the vow of compassion that you swore through your teeth
when the war began to end and the photographs weep
well nobody blames you as the train pulls away
with its cargo of snow for these German paper-weights

but you lost them in your freedom and you need him now you're wild
blessed is the memory of everybody's child

Well it's five in the morning there's no one at home
except for your wife and your child on the phone
somebody's got to listen to a promise or two
oh this room is far too small for a pilgrim like you

but you lost them in your freedom and you need him now you're wild
blessed is the memory of everybody's child

So now that you've decided to follow the sun
like a shadow of birds or a king on the run
oh your chains are too dark for the seas you must swim
you're smiling at the seaweed but your smile is too grim

oh you lost them in your freedom you need him now you're wild
blessed is the memory of everybody's child
blessed is the memory of everybody's child
blessed is the memory of everybody's child
