I’ve Been Moved

[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
