Heather Nova: Oyster: Island


Am      C G   Am       C G
Uuu-------------------------

  Am                             C             G
     There are parts of me he'll never know,
  Am                       C              G
     my wild horses and my river beds,
  Am                 C G             Am          C     G
     and in my throat   voices he'll never hear.
  Am               C G       Am           C     G
     He pulls at me   like a cherry tree,
               Am         C      G     Am              C     G
     and I can still move, but I don't speak about it.
  Am                  C G Am                  C    G
     Pretend I'm crazy,     pretend I'm dead.
  Am                   C         G  Am                   C    G
     He's to scared to hit me now  -  he'll bring flowers instead.

     I need an island,     somewhere to bury you,

     somewhere to go

  Am                          C G       Am         C  G
     And the dogwoods shimmer     in October sun,
  Am                     C       G
    "oh sweet thing" he sings to me,
               Am          C       G
   "you're the only one."



     Am               C G    Am                       C G
     I need an island,     somewhere to sink a stone
     Am               C G    Am                   C
     I need an island,     somewhere to bury you,
  G
     somewhere

     Am               C G    Am                       C G

Uuu-------------------------


     Am                   C G    Am                   C G
     And I don't know why     I can't tell my sister,
        Am                     C G    Am                          C G
     he spat in my face again,      and I don't want to die here.
     Am                              C         G
     You know that dream when your feet won't move,
     Am                         C           G
     you want to come but your body won't let you.
         Am                C G
     He steals it from me.
         Am                C G
     He steals it from me.
         Am           C G        Am     C G
     It shines like sweat, like jewels,
     Am                        C      G
     like something that has died to soon.
        Am                       C G
     He fucks with the beauty.
        Am                       C G
     He fucks with the beauty.
      Am                             C G      Am            C G
     A kiss, a kick, a kiss, a kick,      a kiss kiss kick.
        Am                   C G
     He steals it from me.
          Am                       C G
     It's out of my hands again.


     Am               C G    Am                       C G
     I need an island,     somewhere to sink a stone
     Am               C G    Am                   C
     I need an island,     somewhere to bury you,
  G               Am
     somewhere to go

Am      C G   Am       C G
