Midnite On The Water

G D Am G D Midnight on the water, Sunday on the lake G D D Bm A beaver or an otter, steals across a moonlit break G A Bm G E Foolish moth undaunted by the screen upon the door A D G A D Bumps his head, instead of leaving, comes on back for more G D Am G D Choruses of cricket sounds, the car across the way G D D Bm The dark of nite, the covers down, fond memories of the day G A Bm G E Potted plants, the dance of sweet ferns, shuffled by the breeze A D G A D The shadow of a bat's wing in the shelter of the trees G D Am G D Northern lites that flicker, wicker chairs upon the lawn G D D Bm A cool night in late summer and the still before the dawn G A Bm G E Wood smoke from the campfire, drifting slowly to the sky A D G A D The shimmer of a school of white perch, the spark of fireflies G D Am G D Midnight on the water, sand and cedar air G D D Bm A quiet place, your suntanned face, and summer in your hair G A Bm G E Boats and floats and wild oats growing sweet beside the spring A D G A D Midnight on the water and the owl is on the wing
