I don't believe in an interventionist God
C G/B C F/C
But I know, darling, that you do
C G/B C F/C
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
C
Not to intervene when it came to you
F
Not to touch a hair on your head
Dm
To leave you as you are
G
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Dm

A lone loon dives upon the water

Down in the lime-tree arbour

I remember a girl so very well
Gm F
The carnival drum all mad in the air

Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell

Well the sun goes up and the sun goes down
Bb F
Going round and around but nowhere

The kitten that padded and purred on my lap

Now swipes at my face with the paw of a bear
Gm Dm
I turn the other cheek and you lay into that
Bb F
O where do we go now but nowhere
Chorus: Eb F
O wake up my love my lover wake up

O wake up my love my lover wake up

then we'll meet again

me and you.
