Dm
i feel the wind blowing through my doorway ,

it’s telling me that the summer’s gone ,
A# Dm C Dm
and the winter waits in shadow , waiting with the storm .

verse 2

Dm
i Am old and my bones are weary ,

and my son , he is all i have ,
A# Dm C Dm
but he has gone to fight for freedom , leaving with my heart .

C F A# A
all my life i have loved this land , worked it with my hands ,
A# F C Dm
but can this freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground ?
A# F A# A
can this freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again?

i watched them sail from the rocks below me ,

’twas like the sea in its endless rage ,

many fall on the road to freedom , dying on the stones .

C F A# A
all my life i have loved this land , worked it with my hands ,

but can your freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground ?
A# F A# A
can your freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again?

verse 4
Dm
late last night , as the world was sleeping ,

i dreamed my boy , he was calling out ,

’cos he was lost in some dark forest ,
C A A# C Dm
and snow was falling down , falling on the ground .

Dm A# C – A Dm
oh oh oh , oh oh oh , oh oh oh , oh , oh .
