Baby oh baby, I've been seeing you lately
In carriage and in chariot swingin' low
You were born out loud harvest and the plough
Did hold you hand in hand in this land


Cut this thread in time and dance with me and mine
The waters come and go and it's slow it's slow


We lived dawn til dawn raisins in the sun
Hark the angels sing and we hum
Flooded by the red woken up and led
Twixt the banks and up the River Styx
Leaf o the poisoned vine, take body or take mind
Lullabies in soft and swelling night

Cut this thread in time and dance with me and mine
The waters come and go and it's slow it's slow

I stay strong and heavy ancient as the levee
I think in waves and settle on the shore
Cause baby oh baby I've been seeing you lately
In carriage and in chariot swingin' low
