Verse:
G

You fell from the sky
G
Crash landed in a field
G
Near the river Adur
G
Flowers spring from the ground
G
Lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers
G
In a hole beneath the bridge
G
She convalesce, she fashioned masks of clay and twigs
G
You cried beneath the dripping trees
G
Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid

        Gm
With my voice
     F       Gm alt
I am calling you

Verse:
G
You're a young man waking
G
Covered in blood that is not yours
G
You're a woman in a yellow dress
G
Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
G
You're a young girl full of forbidden energy
G
Flickering in the gloom
G
You're a drug addict lying on your back
G
In a Tijuana hotel room

I am calling you

With my voice

I am calling you


Verse:
G
You're an African doctor harvesting tear ducts
G
You believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now

You're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?
