_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Well, _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] gone [Dm] was our season, _ no golden bands to trust
_ Too late for days stained [C] in wandering [Dm] _ lust _ _ For lightning did boil all our seas into dust
_ _ [Bb] Where [F] once were [C] waves, lay the clays [Dm] heavy blush
Your _ _ _ _ _ [C] name was an [Dm] echo, _ [C] forever I [Dm] had sung _ Land be your body and the [C] sky be [Dm] your love
_ _ [F] Your laughter pierced the [Dm] mountainside [C] and out [Dm] shone the sun
_ [Bb] _
[F] Danced over thy shelter, [C] now will [Dm] be done
_ _ We'll _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[C] _ [F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ face [Dm] the birth of daylight, [C] and our lips will [Dm] lure the tide _ _
Spinning we reckless with [C] a love free of [Dm] _
_ tide
[C] And I'll [F] loose all [Dm] that you loose, [C] and [Fm] bind what [Dm] you bind
_ [Bb] [F] Slave to the days of your [C] heart [Dm] and mine
And _ _ _ _ _ we dreamed [F] of a [C] future so close [Dm] to _ hand
_ Gave souls to [F] all things that we [C] didn't [Dm] understand _
And [F] we named distant shores and [C] gave [F] our [Bb] _ demand
_ Just _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ [F] taking our [C] claim in an [Dm] unpromised land _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And we're making our [C] claim to an _ [Dm] unpromised land
While _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] our woven bodies [Dm] tumble, [F] till drained and ever [Dm] spent
[F] _ Blanket [Dm] the days in [C] our taste [Fm] seven [Dm] cents _ _
[G] [Fm] Though a cruel and [Dm] unseen soul, so base and ever bent
_ [Bb] _ [F] Lit it the seeds [C] of all _ _ [D] discontent
[Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] And lurking [Dm] in darkness, [C] held under [F] bitter [Dm] tongues
[F] The ghost of the moon in the afternoon did spy the [Dm] fleeting sun
_ And [F] screamed into [Dm] the midnight, _ [C] all that [F] is done [Dm] is done
_ _ [Bb] So [F] does our love make [C] a fool [Dm] of the _ _ young _ _ _ _ _
The blind has a [F] beggar [C] with a dead [Dm] withered hand
_ _ _ Gripping [F] her dress and [C] awaiting _ [Dm] command _ _
[Bb] For a word made [F] flesh but [C] the flesh turned [Bb] sand
_ We're _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] wasting our [G] days in [C] an [Dm] unpromised land _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Just [G] wasting [F] our [C] days in an _ [Dm] unpromised land _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _
[Gm] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] The weeds grow tall and winding, unbroken by the [Dm] blade
_ _ [C] [F] Swallow [Dm] our home but [C] a cold empty [Dm] frame
The _ glass eyes staring [C] like a skull without a [Dm] brain
_ [Bb] Why do I [F]
stay [C] though nothing [G] _ [Dm] _ _ _
remains
_ [G] _ [D] _ _ [C] Still I [Dm] long to see, _ _ [C] although our days have [Dm] fled _
[C] Watch [Fm] time [Dm] kiss shadows [C] on your pretty [F] little [Dm] head
So [G] _ _ [C] spin with [Dm] me a future dream [C] from ones [Dm] forever dead
_ [Bb]
As the [F] ancient mother [C] spins her forever [Dm] web
Yet _ _ _ _ _ _ you don't [F] even care [Am] let [C] alone _
[Dm] understand
_ _ How a soul [F] grows old [C] before it [Dm] begins _
So [Bb] here I [F] sit with [C] my spade in my [Bb] hand
_ Just _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] digging my [C]
grave in an _ [Dm] unpromised land _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ We're [G] digging [F] our [C] graves in an [Dm] unpromised land _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _
