G             Em                   C              G 
On the way to your brother's house in the valley, dear, 
G            Em              C               G 
By the river bridge a cradle floating beside me. 
G              Em           C                 G 
In the whitest water on the banks against the stone 
G                 Em            C                   G 
You will lift his body from the shore and bring him home

On the kitchen table that your grandfather did make 
G              Em              C                G 
You and your delicate way will slowly clean his fate 
G                 Em             C                   G 
And you will remember when you rehearsed the actions of 
G               Em             C               G 
An innocent and anxious mother full of anxious love
