========================================================

 C majorC              A minorAm
I witnessed the youth washing off us,
   E MajorE             FF
and pool round our feet like a lake.
[hums]

    C majorC          A minorAm
If you lower yourself into darkness,
     E MajorE            FF
No point tying the rope round your waist.
[hums]

  A minorAm
I heard about your father,
   FF              C majorC                G+G
the olive in the arbor, and the stone inside your heart just the same.
   C majorC           A minorAm
The statue wept milk in the garden,
    E MajorE             FF
hoping something might grow there again.
[hums]

C majorC
I feel all these forces,

Like riderless horses now.
        G+G
free from the cart.
C majorC
We bandage our feet again,

skip over peace again,
    G+G
hurry apart.

 C majorC              A minorAm
Now the bulrushes twist into baskets,
     E MajorE           FF
Like our histories and futures entwined, oh-whoa.
   C majorC         A minorAm
The Obadiah low on the branches ,
  E MajorE           FF
are turning the water to wine, oh-whoa.

   A minorAm
It's hard enough to be here,
    FF
Such a distance from the sea,
 C majorC         G+G
30,000 years I've survived.
   C majorC            A minorAm
And all of those kings I've anointed,
    E MajorE           FF
Still shook like a leaf at my sight.
[hums]

C majorC
I feel all these forces,

Like riderless horses now.
        G+G
free from the cart.
C majorC
We bandage our feet again,

skip over peace again,
    G+G
hurry apart.

FF
We've tasted the fruit I guess,

snakes in the roof I guess,
      C majorC
whisper the parse.
FF
See how the lightning tree,

fought in a sign of peace,
       C majorC
burns in the dark.
          FF
It burns in the dark.
