VERSE 1:

dm        dm9              am
"Take me again," she said, thinking of him,
        C/G                         G
"to the pond with the swans and the swimming."

Far from his room, that familiar perfume
that would've left her aware she was naked


VERSE 2:

The lesson she learned when her memory stirs
is to marvel with love at the sunset

and walking away is the dark end of day
she will measure and break like a habit


CHORUS:

F            G
Oh, how the rain
           C          G/B       Am
sounds as loud as a lover's words
F           G
And now and again,
        C             G/B       Am
she's afraid when the sun returns

F G

VERSE 3:

"Take me again," she said, thinking of him,
"I don't care for this careful behavior."

A brush through her hair, children kissin upstairs
Keeps her up with her want for a savior


VERSE 4:

Sun on the sand, on her knees and her hand
as she begs for her fish from the water

But turn them away, she's a whip and a slave
given time she may find something better


CHORUS:

F            G
Oh, how the rain
           C          G/B       Am
sounds as loud as a lover's words
F           G
And now and again,
        C             G/B       Am
she's afraid when the sun returns

F G (chords 4x)
