[Verse 1]
F C
So there's longing in the shoulders now
Dm Bb
There was a wildness in that time
C
Can't we now say
F Bb C
Oh sweet were the hours, but hours to find
F C
There was no way to live in simple dreams
Dm Bb
There was no straightness to our line
C
Gravel in hand
F Bb C
Darling, we're moving the mountains around
[Chorus]
Bb C
This is the fire of leaving pains
F Dm
when the love is gone but the need remains
Bb C
into the shiver and cold of day
F Dm
when the house is gone but the street remains
C
I guess it's true
Bb F
I guess these rivers never knew
[Verse 2]
F C
And so finally the night time comes
Dm Bb
There is no lot to cast a blame
C
No need to hide
F Bb C
No fear who I'd meet in some grocery lane
[Chorus]
Bb C
This is the fire of leaving pains
F Dm
when the love is gone but the need remains
Bb C
into the shiver and cold of day
F Dm
when the house is gone but the street remains
C
I guess it's true
Bb F
I guess these rivers never knew
[Instrumental]
Bb F C Dm
[Verse 3]
F C
And I'll sing of seasons 'til you turn me off
Dm Bb
I see the way of letting go
C
They'll be the same
F Bb C
And whatever changes these changes I know
[Chorus]
Bb C
This is the fire of leaving pains
F Dm
When we're not that strong but the need remains
Bb C
into the shiver and lights of day
F Dm
when the house is gone but the fields remain
C
I guess it's true
Bb F
I guess these rivers never knew
[Instrumental]
