G
It is a dance we do in silence
C
Far below this morning sun
C
You in your life, me in mine
G
We have begun
G
Here we stand and without speaking
C
Draw the water from the well
C G
And stare beyond the plains
G/F# G/E D C
To where the mountains lie so still
G C G
But it's a long way that I have come
Am C
Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun
G Bm Em
Where the families work the land as they have always done
Am C G C
Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone
G
Across my home has grown the shadow
C
Of a cruel and senseless hand
C
Though in some strong hearts
G
The love and truth remain
G
And it has taken me this distance

G C
And a woman's smile to learn
C G G/F#
That my heart remains among them
G/E D C
And to them I must return
G C G
But it's a long way that I have come
G Am C
Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun
G
Where your children will be born
Bm Em
You'll watch them as they run
Am C G
Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone
D
If you look for me, Maria
C
You will find me in the shade
G D/F# Em
Wide awake or in a dream
Bm C
It's hard to tell--
D
If you come to me, Maria
C
I will show you what I've made
G F C
It's a picture for our lady of the well
