[Em] [B] [Em]
By the time we're [Am] done with dancing [G] elsewhere, [D] darling, you'll be [Em] glancing, and the [A] night's a river [D] torrent tearing [G] us apart.
[Em] Minute [Am] melody entwined [G] us, easily the ties that [Em] bind us break in [B] fibrillations of the [Em] heart.
Don't [A] cry out or cling in terror, [G] darling, that's [D] a fatal error, [Em] clinging to [Am] a somebody [D] you thought you knew [G] was yours.

[D] You lose your way, [G] so it will come to seem, [B] no place in particular [Em] is home.
You [A] [D] glance away, [G] your house has disappeared, [D] the sweater you've been knitting [Em] has unpurled.
[A] [D] You live adrift, [G] and everything you feared [B] comes to you in this [Em] undoing world.
Copper [Am]-plated, nailed [G] together, [D] buffeted by ocean [Em] weather, stands the queen [Am] of exiles and [D] our mother she [G] may be.
[Em] Hollow [Am]-breasted, broken [G]-hearted, watching [D] for her dear departed, [Em] for her [D] children cast upon the [Em] sea.
At her [Am] back, the great idyllic [G] land of justice [D] for exilic [Em] peoples, [A] ponders making [D] justice private [G] property.
[Em] Darling, [Am] never dream [G] another woman [D] might have been your [Em] mother, [Dm] someday you may be [Em] a refugee.
[D] A refugee,
[G] who's running from the [D] wars, hiding from the fire bombs [Em] they've hurled.

Mother, for [Am] your [G] derelicted, children [D] from your womb [Em] evicted, grant us [Am] shelter, harbor, [D] solace, [G] safety.
Let us in, [Em] let us [Am] tell you where we've [G] traveled, how our hopes, [D] our lives [Em] unraveled, how [Dm] unwelcome [Bm] everywhere [E] we've been.
