Verse

A augmentedA
Fires of the lighthouse burning in the bay
B minorBm
Waters of the sound sleeping through the day
A augmentedA
Ostrich of the night half buried in the sand
B minorBm
Nearer comes the man, sickle in his hand
A augmentedA
Battles in the back seat, soap box car
B minorBm
Black-bolt lightning car I don't care who you are
A augmentedA
Fires of the lighthouse, sound of the guitar
B minorBm
?? regard

A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
Death where is thy sting?? In the trails of
F# minorF#m
Sunfish sails and curve stitch string?
A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
Black mass ghosts of half-chewed hosts
F# minorF#m
Off the Henlopen coast in the saltwater spring

A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
You arrive washed up in the tide Normally alive
F# minorF#m
with your consolation boots of Spanish inquisition eyes
A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
Prancing around the stage at your advancing age
F# minorF#m
Offering stale communion to the presbyters of time?

Verse

A augmentedA
Cousins on the swing set, rabbits in the grass:
B minorBm
Is it too much to ask to reproduce the past?
A augmentedA
Stories of the ice boat wreck kept us warm
B minorBm
Sheltered from storm on the ocean floor

A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
And in the morning, we rest in Corinthian headdress
F# minorF#m
On couches of ivory
 A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
And wake in the moonlight Like badgers at midnight
F# minorF#m
To friends made in factories somewhere
(louder)
A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
You'll know where to find us, our best years behind us
F# minorF#m
Barefooted pilgrims at shrines of our youth:
 A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
'Our joy was electric, our circles concentric...'
F# minorF#m
Converging on statues of permanence


A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
Death where is thy sting?
F# minorF#m
You ought to put more thought into what you bravely sing
 A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
Aft-mast ships of straw-short bricks
F# minorF#m
You'll soon see exactly where my victory is
A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
The spring to its slumber Your lighthouses black
F# minorF#m
Like virginal slumber I'll break like the lap
A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
Of your Delaware shore Your Blue Hen remains
F# minorF#m
Will dissolve at my door Like a teaspoon of salt in the rain


And I'll wrap up your absence
In blankets of reverence
A augmentedA mastodon shadow
Divided by zero
A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
And comfort your family With words like eternity
F# minorF#m
And friends made in factories somewhere
