Dry The River - It Was Love That Laid Us Low
Tuning half step down
Intro:
G
Bm G A G
Verse 1:
Bm G
I dreamt of a Russian doll bride
A G
Who spun on the points of her feet like a child
Bm G D
But I had the terminal pride of an older man
Bm G
There’s a Passover cross on the post
A G
But the angel descends in the shape of a crow
Em C D G
And buries its beak in our unfused bones, like it’s ok
Chorus:
Em C D C Bm Am
Like a moth goes sad and soft in the streetlights’ umbilical glow:
G
It was love that laid us low
Bm G A G
Verse 2:
Bm G
I worked out of town after dark
A G
With apocryphal men in a cold weather mask
Bm G D
I guess she did best to depart in the Dark Night of the Soul
Bm G
By nature you’re mild and you’re meek
A G
But they say that you’re judged by the company you keep
Em C D G
Merrily spitting up salt when you speak, like it’s ok
Bm C D Em
Chorus:
Em C D C Bm Am
Like a moth goes sad and soft in the streetlight’s umbilical glow
Em C D C Bm Am
Like a pilgrim father kneels in a land where his god doesn’t go
Em C D C Bm Am
Like every seed in the sycamore tree will turn its back on its home:
Bm C
It was love that laid us low
G
It was love that laid us low
