Courtyard Lullaby chords

Capo 2

[INTRO]
[D]

[VERSE 1]
Within the [Am7]deep night [D]sky
The stars lie [Am7]in its em[D]brace
The courtyard [Am7]still in its [D]sleep
Peace comes [Am7]over your [D]face

[VERSE 2]
"Come to [Am7]me," it [D]sings
"Hear the [Am7]pulse of the [D]land
The ocean's [Am7]rhythms [D]pull
To hold your [Am7]heart in its [D]hand"

[VERSE 3]
[Am]When the wind blows [D]strong
A[C]cross the cypress [D]trees
The [Am]nightbirds cease their [D]song
So gathers [C]memo[D]ries

[VERSE 4]
Last night you [Am7]spoke of a [D]dream
Where forests [Am7]stretched to the [D]east
And each bird [Am7]sang its [D]song
A unicorn [Am7]joined in a [D]feast

[VERSE 5]
And [Am]in a corner [D]stood
A [C]pomegranate [D]tree
With [Am]wild flowers [D]there
No mortal [C]eye could [D]see

[VERSE 6]
Yet still some [Am7]mystery be[D]falls
Sure as the [Am7]cock crows at [D]morn
The world in [Am7]stillness [D]keeps
The secret of [Am7]babes to be [D]born

[VERSE 7]
[Am]Come to me, my [D]love
[C]Hear the pulse of the [D]land
The [Am]ocean's rhythms [D]pull
To hold your [C]heart in its [D]hand

[VERSE 8]
I heard an [Am7]old voice [D]say
"Don't go [Am7]far from the [D]land
The seasons [Am7]have their [D]way
No mortal [Am7]can under[D]stand"
