Drought


"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
