F#m E Winter solstice, the earth open wide F#m with a heart crushed like footsteps in snow E (((fictitious persons disclaimers implied F#m to all listening from rooftops below))) E it had rained and the air was like perfume outside A G#m C#m as the sky changed F#m E we began when the ground was still dry F#m planting vineyards where vineyards don’t grow E shaping cypress with pitch on both sides F#m for the nights when our trumpets won’t blow E that regret still there circling like vultures inside A G#m C#m as your face changed? E They don’t stay inside. (there but for Thy grace go I...) A C#m F#m through the eyes of machines we viewed immaculate scenes C#m that had already passed me by A C#m F#m all the stars on the ground, Noah’s ark in the clouds C#m set sail in the flood of my mind, A C#m F#m the other animals drowned in blasphemous towns C#m and asked as they passed me by A C#m F#m C#m “was to do as I please a European disease?” F#m E Winter solstice, the earth open wide F#m with a mouth closed and face carved like stone E dressed the dawn in the air drawn designs F#m as the sounds rose in waveforms unknown E and you smile but your vampire complexion still shows A G#m C#m so the past goes. F#m E August 3rd, all the earth had closed down, F#m so with breastplates of righteousness low E searched for streams in the caves underground F#m where the Baptists and bootleggers go E when the sun hits Deer Flat your reflection still shows A G#m C#m and your past shows. E It’s really all that shows (so often unrecognizably so) A C#m F#m We gave up on our dreams for those projected on screens C#m that had already passed me by A C#m F#m with further suffering found in our insufferable sounds C#m and the thought in the back of my mind: A C#m F#m “does my misery feed a metaphysical need C#m that’s long since passed me by, A C#m neither reasoning why F#m C#m nor offering reply?”
