Verse If you were coming in the fall, I'd brush the summer by C7 D With half a smile and half a spurn, G7 C7 D As housewives do a fly. G7 If I could see you in a year, I'd wind the months in balls, C7 D And put them each in separate drawers, G7 C7 D Until their time befalls. Chorus Bm If only centuries delayed, Em C I'd count them on my hand, G D Subtracting till my fingers dropped G Into Van Diemen's land. Bm If certain, when this life was out, Em C That yours and mine should be, G D I'd toss it yonder like a rind, G And taste eternity. Outro G7 - C7 - D Verse G7 But now, all ignorant of the length Of time's uncertain wing, C7 D It goads me, like the goblin bee, G7 C7 D That will not state its sting Chorus Bm If only centuries delayed, Em C I'd count them on my hand, G D Subtracting till my fingers dropped G Into Van Diemen's land. Bm If certain, when this life was out, Em C That yours and mine should be, G D I'd toss it yonder like a rind, G And taste eternity.
