the long knife of the sun rising
F Bb F Bb Eb
up the horizon and into our tired eyes
Dm Eb Dm Gm
the spell of night is struck down
F Bb F Bb Eb
our second sight is bleeding out
F Bb Eb
anna. can i come and walk you home?
F Bb Eb
i‘m not gonna wanna be alone
F Bb Eb
beaten up when the sunlight comes
F Bb Eb
bullied and cut by the clock on the wall
Bb F Gm
take the morning and the chlorinous light
Bb F Gm
you can have the afternoon. bury the evening too
Bb F Gm
give me gathering calm of the night
Dm Eb Dm Eb
when the day is done and the rest is coming on
Bb F Gm
under the pitch and the pull of the moon
Bb F Gm
sweet silver medicine swim in my temples and
Bb F Gm
bring in the shadows to cover our flaws
Dm Eb Dm Eb
when the pain is gone and the rest is coming on

Dm Eb Dm Gm
you belong out of that uniform
F Bb F Bb Eb
out in the streets when everyone else is asleep
Dm Eb Dm Gm
see the way the body sways
F Bb F Bb
in empty air when there's nobody there
F Bb Eb
and you don‘t even care if there is
F Bb Eb
anna can i be to you like that?
F Bb Eb
cover your shame with a shield of black
F Bb Eb
cover your body with my trembling hands
F Bb Eb
have you dancing while i hold them back
Bb F Gm
hold back the morning and her chlorinous light
Bb F Gm
have at the afternoon. bury the evening too
Bb F Gm
let‘s have the gathering calm of the night
Dm Eb Dm Eb
when the day is done and the rest is coming on
Bb F Gm
under the pitch and the pull of the moon
Bb F Gm
sweet silver medicine swim in my temples and
Bb F Gm
bring in the shadows to cover our wounds
