C majorC G6G6
My mind may drift from the walls of my skin
C majorC G6G6
But I will not wander too far
C majorC G6G6
For those who are pulled by the ivory sun
C majorC G6G6
Know that home is a labor of fire
A minorAm G6G6
And I may have nursed their honey-bright wounds
C majorC G6G6 A minorAm
And cradled their rhythms to rest
C majorC G6G6
But I am no dreamer
C majorC G6G6 A minorAm
I could not keep my hands clean
C majorC G6G6
So I will not grieve those bent to receive
C majorC G6G6
Seeds that could never be sown
C majorC G6G6
And I will not lust those courtesies past
C majorC G6G6
They have flickered but not chosen me
A minorAm G6G6
And when they march by in their motherly smiles
C majorC G6G6 A minorAm
Swaying their motherly hips
C majorC G6G6
I cannot follow
C majorC G6G6 A minorAm
I cannot keep their pace
C majorC G6G6 A minorAm G6G6

C majorC G6G6
Time has a way of stealing our breath
C majorC G6G6
And milking the light from our pores
C majorC G6G6
And many will fill their oak barrel wombs
C majorC G6G6
With patience instead of desire
A minorAm G6G6
One cannot curse a crow for her course
C majorC G6G6 A minorAm
Or choose where her feathers may fall
C majorC G6G6
I am no swallow
C majorC G6G6
I am no spring bird
C majorC G6G6 C majorC G6G6 C majorC
