"Drought"
Em C
Summer move forward and stitch me the fabric of fall
G D
Wrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us all
Am
How sweet is the day
Em
I'm craving a darkness
C G
As I sit tucked away with my back to the wall
Am Em
And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth
C G
And the landscape of merry and desperate drought
Dm
How much longer dear angels
Em
Let winterlight come
Am C G
And spread your white sheets over my empty house
Em C
Summer move forward and leave your heat anchored in dust
G D
Forgotten him, cheated him, painted illusions of lust
Am Em
Now language escape, fugitive of forgiveness
C G
Leaving as trace only circles of rust
Am Em
And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth
C G
And the landscape of merry and desperate drought
Am
How much longer dear angels
Em
Come break me with ice
Am C G
Let the water of calm trickle over my doubts
Am G
Come let me drown
Em C G D
Angels no fire no salt on the plow
Em Am
Carry me down
Em D
Bury me down
Am Em
And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth
C G
And the landscape of merry and desperate drought
Dm
Once I knew myself
Em
And with knowing came love
C D G
I would know love again if I had faith enough
Em Am Bm
Too far is next spring and her jubilant shout
NC D Dm D
So angels, inside Is the only way out
