G
I'd like to tie today up in my hair,
Am
like to collect the hours we still could dance
G Am
for a jam jar on my nightstand.
G
I'd like to fly my spine like a kite,
Am G
want to see you walk through that doorway and into this room
Am
where I am waiting for you. You like the sea.
Em
And how the sea began with a drop of sweat
C
soaked into a cloth swiped across the brow of God
Em
and how he wrung it out into sharp teeth to scales
C
and how the carnivore was born.
G
And how he flung us forward into day and night
Am
and how we floated down as if hot air balloons
G Am
with consciences like faulty landings.
Em Am C Am G Am
Our bodies skin thin and desirable, how I desire you.
Em Am C Am C Am C
Our bodies, thin-skinned and desirable how I, how I desire you.
G Am G Am
End on G
