[Em]
[F]
[Am]
[F]
[Am] The dove [Dm] I [Am] love,
[G]
I am [C] not deceived
[G] Who
[F]
takes one breath above, for [Am] every hour below the sea
Who gave to me a jewel,
[G] life but would cost her lead
[F] Then laying at low [Dm] tide to [Am] see her to La Vásquez
And in an [C] infinite regret
Tell [Gm] me, what is the [Dm] pain of birth?
[F] Lighter than the [C] pain of death
I [G] ain't saying that I love, [F]
but [C] I loved you [Bb]
bad
[Am] I know we must admire, each bind
[G] behind us here
The
[F] divers and the sailors and [Am] women all appear
But how do you choose your form?
How do you choose [A] your [G] name?
How do you choose your life?
[F] How do you choose the time you must [Am] exhale and kick and [B] ride?
[A]
[C] And in an infinite capsize
Like [Gm] a bull tearing [Dm] down the coast
The bull [F]
wearing [C] the bull mask
I [G] don't know if you [Gb] loved [F] me, but you [C] loved me [Bb]
last
[Am]
Recall the word you gave
We crossed [G] the depths of this [C] [G] arid world
[F] Where you'd yoke the waves and [Am] lay dead of shining youth
I dream every night
The real
[G] tale, the moats of sand dislodged
The shocking began bright
The [F] twin then cast off shells, refusing [Dm] a heart [Am] of wine
And in an [C] infinite backslide
[Gm] Ancient borders sink [E] past [Dm] the west
[F] Like a soul, the [C] barrows fall
I [G] can't claim that I [Gb] knew [F] you best
But [C] did you know me [Bb] at all?
[Am] A woman I would [G] like
You do not take her for a sign
[F]
Didn't make her on a [Dm] stone alone, [A]
[Am] unfaceted and fine
And ever will I wait
I'll [C] give to the bottom of my [G] life
[F] And ever [G] hold [F] my breath
Till [Am] I may be the diver's wife
See how [C] the infinite divides
And [Gm] the divers are not [Dm] to blame
For [F] the rift spanning [C] distant shores
You [G]
don't [Gb] [F]
know [C] that I [Bb]
know yours
[N]
