G Dsus2 Cadd9
When the sun rested on our shoulders
G Dsus2 Cadd9
And the wind kissed the back of your neck
G Dsus2 Cadd9
I would lay and absorb in the silence
G Dsus2 Cadd9
In your language I haven’t learned yet
Dsus2 Em7 Cadd9
In the tune of the national anthem
Dsus2 Em7 Cadd9
Sing the words while the corrugate bursts
Dsus2 Em7 Cadd9
While our burning desires are crackling
Dsus2 Em7 Cadd9
We exist in the unified verse
G Dsus2 Cadd9
When your eyes became focused on absence
G Dsus2 Cadd9
How the shadows were cast on the plane
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Under moonlight of middle November
G Dsus2 Cadd9
I was shifting to stay in the frame
Dsus2 Em7 Cadd9
I would eat from the tops of your branches
Dsus2 Em7 Cadd9
Spit it out, break a bough, and descend
Dsus2 Em7 Cadd9
I would dream of the ways we’d get cradled
Dsus2 Em7 Cadd9
While this lullaby rings in my head
Cadd9
When this began, this was a thing that we could both share
A bit of shame, the goodness fades, and we’d begin there
When this began, this was a thing that we could both share
A bit of shame, the goodness fades, and we’d begin there
