C#m A5 E B
Breathe life to the street from your mouth
A E B
Those ruby red lips have much to give
C#m A5 E B
Pull life from the land with your capable hands
A E B
Those life loving beautiful broken hands
A E
O I?ll stand with you and marvel
C#m A
At the cosmos pink and bright
A E
All the pages flipping backwards
C#m A
?til time is gone and wrong is right
A
Rivers running up the hills into the sky
C#m A
And down to the sea
Where a merman with a twinkle
C#m
Cast a hook in me
C#m A5 E B
Sing me a salty blue song I?ll be gone
A E B
With watery cheeks down flowered lanes
C#m A5 E B
Tattered sails, as a ramshackle ship I?ll go pale
A E B
Staring straight in the face, looming tempest waves
A E
Otherwise I?ll wither, die here
C#m A
On this reach of rubble rambling
A E
With two ears filled up with sand, dear
C#m A
And a broken gaze I?ll be scrambling
A
Like rivers running up the hills into the sky
C#m A
And down to the sea
C#m
Where a merman with a twinkle cast a hook in me
C#m A5 E B
Summer sky falling into the sea taking part of me
A E B
See the bones on the sand in the light
C#m A5 E B
All the herds of the sea rushing by pay no mind
A E B
To the dancing reflections gone wild
A E
And at night a fractured star fell
C#m A
And pierced right through the thick of me
A E
I cried out in pain and joy, ?Yes,
C#m A
I?m not dead, not numb, not withering.?
A
Like a fallen leaf who keeps her green
C#m A
I?m turning bright in the sea
C#m
Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me.
