Shot from the green cannon of late spring

Cm7                   F
The map on your lap unfolding

Purple light on your face in the canyon at dusk

Then they lie to you in your head that our language can't capture it

all
                 Cm7              F
But I thought my eyes had seen it all


Cm7                    F
Slept all night in the dry scrub
Cm7                             F
Crawled from the thicket with a new love
Cm7                              F
Sleep in our eyes and I pulled a bug off your back
Cm7                                F
You said "Leave me alone. Just let nature attack us"

Our time was turning dusty yellow but the sun on your forehead shone

pink

I thought the worst was over
             F
Just goes to show I shouldn't think

I thought my eyes had seen it all

I thought my eyes had seen it all
