Verse 1
Em 
The moon is brighter than the sun
By shadows of the night that follows me
As I drive your way
The moon hangs from the sky
The drink hangs from the branches
While I lie in the gutter
The road is full of sand
It falls upon the landing,
it falls upon the landing
And I wonder where you are,
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Sometimes I come home
and I'm glad that you are sleeping
I don't have to pretend
that you are thinking of me
Or something like that in
the middle of the night
She really is for taking
As she lies there softly
sleeping undisturbed
And I wish my voice, my breath,
my touch could awaken her
And do the way that you are doing
I'm gonna spell her name
I'm gonna spell her name
I'm gonna spell her name
I'm gonna spell her name
I'm gonna spell her name
I'm gonna spell her name
There really is no reason

Verse 2

for the way that I was feeling

It should have been the weather

for something that's much brighter

I wanna spell her name

Verse 7

Six inches and fall like a delicate veil

Verse 8
The touch of a kiss feels like it's all over now
Em 
I never could jump from high enough
I never could jump from high enough
C 
Em 
A third story jumping high enough
F 
Em 
It's just a mess on Market Street
I never could jump from high enough
I never could jump from high enough
Down at the Hotel Queen
in Sacramento and Poland
It's just a mess on Mount Kingston
Neighbors spend their day washing socks
I hear a one -legged man
Staring out the window in a thoracic haze
E 
They don't know what to do
Em 
with their hands
They take their medicines
On his belly
They take their medicines and spell
Staring out the window in
authority's hands
They wanna spell your name
They take their medicines
That was so long ago
Em 
D 
I wanna spell your name
Em 
F 
Em 
Em 
That was so long ago
Edim 
I feel the spell on you,   baby
Em 
I feel the spell on you,
Em 
F 
baby
