C F
When you mend the patches of my clothin'
C G
You know every thread goes through my heart
C F
Guessin' that the river's gonna dry up
C G C
Well, I said that's not the reason why we bard

Lookin' 'round the corner where I left you

Wonderin' whatever led me there
C F C G

She said, "I don't want your medicine and I don't need the sparrow in my heart"

C C
Wishin' it could heed up every crow

So that they could lift me by my shoulders

sweet hand

Oh I want to be your medicine I want to feed the sparrow in your heart

When we're covered by the thunder we'd become just one and feel the lightning
G
shard
C
Splayed the wind apart
