Chords with lyrics
E minorEm
When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
G+G
We were lying on our backs.
E minorEm
I dreamt that the ground split a seam,
G+G
Our spirits, floating.
Cmaj7Cmaj7
When no longer tied into our bodies,
G+G
We left them wrapping as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G
Tired and ready to go.
G+G
But I don't know what goes on.
D7D7
I touched my grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket.
He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it.
E minorEm
They had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
A7A7 Cmaj7Cmaj7
His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
G+G
I could never put my hands back to them.
G+G
Still, I don t know what goes on.
D7D7
Will my thoughts burn in unseen patterns, form a dim glow in your mind
Long after you remember who it was that I looked like?
E minorEm A7A7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G
Oh Oh Oh Oh
E minorEm G+G
We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
E minorEm Bm/D Cmaj7Cmaj7
An accidental constellation.
A7A7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G
You, how will you go?
E minorEm A7A7
Out through your mouth in a sigh?
Cmaj7Cmaj7 G+G
Into a space we don't know.
E minorEm A7A7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 A7A7 Cmaj7Cmaj7
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
G+G
