Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been moved by the wind upon the waters And the shadows as the leaves are blown When that old wind moans on a weary winter Sunday Like a friend that keeps on knockin' at my home [Verse 2] I've been moved by the cryin' of the newborn The honey-sweetness of the air in spring I've watched the moonlight flood cross them sleepy hills and valleys Heard the sadness in her requiem [Verse 3] I've been moved watchin' nature slowly turnin' Through the seasons and the patterns that she brings And as the mornin' star proceeds the breakin' of a new day Find the black crow is already on the wing [Verse 4] I've been moved watchin' somethin' that's been sufferin' Be it humankind or any livin' thing From the fury of the storm, that old parched ground is reborn And the deserts blooms'd satisfy a king [Verse 5] I've been moved by the tireless sea a-churnin' All them scarlets of an inland dusk Whoa, when a close friend has died, and turned away and cried As they laid him down and shovelled in the dust
