Do you remember what they called up to you and me,

There is a rusty

Em
the pines tonight
D
Sun pouring wine, lord, or marrow
C
Into the bones of the birches
Em
And the spires of the churches
D
A
Am
Jutting out from the shadows
C
The yoke, and the axe,
Em
D
A
and the old smokestacks and the bale and the barrow
Am
C
And everything sloped like it
Em
was dragged from a rope
D
A
In the mouth of the south below

From that snow in the night time

In the morning, in the morning

C#m
F#
And, Emily, I saw you last night by the river
C#m
I dreamed you were skipping little stones
F#
across the surface of the water
G#m
B
A
Frowning at the angle where they were lost,
B
C#m
and slipped under forever
G#m
B
In a mud- cloud, mica- spangled,
A
C#m
like the sky'd been breathing on a mirror

Anyhow, I sat by your side, by the water

You taught me the names of the stars over

C#m
That the meteorite is a source of the light
F#
And the meteor's just what we see
G#m
B
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid
A
C#m
of the fire that propelled it to thee
Verse 7
C#m
And the meteorite's just
what causes the light
F#
And the meteor's how it's perceived
G#m
B
And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from

the void that lies quiet in offering to thee
Verse 8
C#m
C
Em
You came and lay a cold compress upon
D
Bm
D

the mess I'm in
C
Em
Threw the window wide and cried,
D
Am
C
amen, amen, amen
Em
The whole world stopped to
D
Am
hear you hollering
C
And you looked down and saw now
Em
D
what was happening
Am
Verse 9
C
Em
The lines are fadin' in
D
Am
my kingdom
C
Em
Though I have never known the
D
Am
way to border 'em in
C
Em
So the muddy mouths of baboons and sows,
D
Am
and the grouse, and the horse and the hen
C
Em
Grope at the gate of the looming lake that
D
Am
was once a tidy pen
C
Em
And the mail is late and the great estates
D
Am
C
are not lit from within
Em
The talk in town's becoming
D
downright sickening
Am
Verse 10
F
A
In due time we will see the
E

D
F#m
far buttes lit by a flare
F
A
I've seen your bravery,
E
F#m
and I will follow you there
D
A
And row through the night time
E
So healthy
F#m
Gone healthy all of a sudden
D
A
In search of the midwife
E
Who could help me
C#m
F#m
Bm
Who could help me
E

Bm
Help me find my way back in

And there are worries where
I've been

Verse 11
B
E
C#m
And say, say, say in the lee of the bay,
F#
don't be bothered
C#m
Leave your troubles here where the tugboats
F#
shear the water from the water
G#m
B
Flanked by furrows, curling back,
A
C#m
like a match held up to a news paper
Emily, they'll follow your
F#
lead by the letter
C#m
And I make this claim,
F#
and I'm not ashamed to say I knew you better
G#m
B
What they've seen is just a beam of
E
A
B
C#m
your sun that banishes winter
Verse 12
C#m
Let us go, though we know it's
F#
a hopeless endeavor
C#
C#m
The ties that bind, they are barbed and
F#
spined and hold us close forever
G#m
B
Though there is nothing would help me come to grips
A
C#m
with a sky that is gaping and yawning
G#m
B
A
There is a song I woke with on my lips as you
C#m
sailed your great ship towards the morning
Verse 13
C#m
C
Em
Come on home, the poppies are all grown
D
Am
knee- deep by now
C
Blossoms all have fallen,
Em
D
Am
and the pollen ruins the plow
C
Em
E
D
Am
C
Peonies nod in the breeze and while they wetly bow,
Em
with
D
Hydrocephalitic listlessness
Am
ants mop up their brow
Verse 14
C
Em
And everything with wings is restless,
D
Am
aimless, drunk and dour
C
Em
C
D
Butterflies and birds collide at hot,
Am
ungodly hours
C
D
And my clay- colored
Am
motherlessness rangily reclines
C
Come on home now,
Em
D
all my bones are dolorous with vines
Am
C
Verse 15
F
A
Pa pointed out to me,
E
for the hundredth time tonight
F#m
F
A
The way the ladle leads
E
F#m
to a dirt- red bullet of light
D
A
Squint skyward and listen
E
Loving him,
F#m
D
we move within his borders
A
E
F#m
Just asterisms in the stars' set order
Verse 16
D
We could stand for a century
A
E
F#m
Staring, with our heads cocked
D
A
In the broad daylight at this thing
E
F#m
Joy, landlocked
D
A
In bodies that don't keep
E
F#m
Dumbstruck with the sweet ness of being
D
A
Till we don't be
C#m
Told, take this
F#m
And eat this
Verse 17
C
Told, the meteorite is
Em
the source of the light
D
Am
And the meteor's just what we see
C
Em
And the meteoroid is a stone that's
C
D
Am
devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee
Verse 18
C
And the meteorite's just
Em
what causes the light
D
And the meteor's how it's perceived
Am
C
Em
D
And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void that lies quiet in offering
Am

to thee
