[Bm] [G]
When you ate I saw your eyelashes Saw them shake like wind on brushes
In the cornfield when she called me
Moths around me thought they'd drown me
This part is hard
[Gbm] [A] [G] Dried rose [D] petals, [Em] red brown [A] circles Frame your eyes and sting [Bm] your knuckles
[G] Dried rose petals, red brown [A] circles Frame your [Em] eyes and sting your [D] knuckles
[Em] [A] [Bm] [G]
[A] [Bm] [G]
[D] And all [A] those lonely [Bm] nights [G] down by the river [Em] Brought me bread and water, [A] water and
[Bm] But [G] though I [D] tried so hard my little [Bm] darling [G] I couldn't keep the night [D] from coming
And all those [Bm] lonely [G] nights down by the river [Em] Brought me bread and [G] water and a [A] kiss in the [Bm] can
Now [G] in the quiet [D] hour [A] when I am [Bm] sleeping I cannot [G] keep the night [D] from [Bm] coming in
[Bb] [Bm]
[Bb]
[Bm] Why have you gone away, [Bb] gone away again?

[G] Now in the quiet [D] hour when [A] I [Bm] am sleeping [G] I cannot keep the night [D] from coming in
[G]
[D] [A] Beneath [G] the porch light we've all been circling
Our guest hearts sing our flower wings But in the corner something is happening
[Bm]
Wild Cosmia, what have you seen?
[G] Water were your [Bm] limbs and [G] fire [Bm] was your hair
And then the moonlight caught your eye [G] and you rose through the air
[Bm] Well if [G] you've seen true light [A] then this [Bm] is my prayer
[G] [Bm] Will you [D] call me when you get there?
[Bm] And [G] I miss his heart, miss his heart,
[D] and [Bm] miss [G] your [D] heart
And I miss his heart, to its feet, oh, and miss his heart
[G]
