[Verse 1]
      C            Bb           F
In my heart I will wait by the stony gate
        C                Bb         F
And the little one in my arms will sleep
      C             Bb              F
Every rising of the moon makes the years grow late
        C          Bb          F
And the love in my heart will keep


[Verse 2]
          Dm             F        Dm           F
There are friends I will make and bonds I will break
       Dm           F         Dm           G      C
As the seasons roll by and we build our own sky


[Verse 3]
                  Bb           F
The stars in your sky are the stars in mine
         C            Bb             F
And both prisoners of this life are we
            C            Bb          F
Through the same troubled waters we carry our time
C           Bb            F
You and the convicts and me


[Verse 4]
          Dm            F   Dm                 F   Dm
There's a good thing to know on the outside or in
               F          Dm         G    C
To answer, not where, but just who I am


[Verse 5]
        C              Bb           F
Oh, the hills that you know will remain for you
        C             Bb               F      C
And the little willow green will stand firm
                        Bb              F
And the flowers that we planted in the seasons past
         C            Bb         F
Will all bloom on the day you return


[Verse 6]
     Dm      F    Dm                F    Dm
To a baby at play, all a mother can say
                    F           Dm    G             C
He'll return on the wind to our hearts until then


[Verse 7]
                  Bb           F            C
I'll sit and I'll wait by the stony gate
                              Bb          F
And the little one 'neath the trees will dance
