[Verse]
D
A soft breeze
                           D/C#
With the slippery concrete black and full of muddy slush
Bm                                      G
Contrasting with the hoarfrost, clean and hung
     D
On a tunnel of silent shivering trees
    D/C#
The ones you said you'd like to be
        Bm                         G
And the birds that screamed at the sun

    D
Now buried deep below the ground
D/C#                         Bm                            G
Beneath the snow, I press my shoulder to this wall between us
  D                            D/C#
I know you are behind me and I press my shoulder to this wall
  Bm                   G
Determined not to turn around

  D
I didn't see you standing
           D/C#                                   Bm
Still that statue that I molded in my mind to kiss
                     G
So beautiful you'll never move again

[Interlude]
D D/C# Bm G

[Verse]
    D
Someplace far away
        D/C#
At some sad table littered with chipped plates
     Bm                            G
With bad light in 48 frames from a movie on the cutting room floor
          D                        D/C#
You said, "True meaning would be dying with you"
             Bm           G
And though I wanted to, I did not smile

    D                          D/C#
But now I will give up on this wall that I have fought with
      Bm              G
Never uncover meaning behind our rich words
     D                        D/C#
If I could I would make you a raging river
     Bm            G
With angry rapids, plied with rain
             D
So you could always meander
    D/C#                      Bm       G
And forever be able to run away

        D             D/C#
Without contending
                       Bm         G
With myths wrongly interpreted
     D          D/C#    Bm  G
With pain
        D         D/C#    Bm  G
A harsh wind
D D/C# Bm G
              D         D/C#    Bm  G
A harsh wind
