Verse 1
G
D
I'm a fishing
girl, just a lonely girl
The town in which I live is breaking water
G
I told
my mother, my violent brother
That all they give to me is reason to leave
A
Imagine my surprise, a pair of ancient eyes
Set into a face as old as land
He says it hurts his skin to touch the sand
He crawls back into the sea, the air is salty and
G
sweet
A backward glance by way of invitation
G
D
air is salty and sweet
Em
Bm
I'll leave my dress
G

'Cause he's as soft as silk,
D
A
as pure as baby milk
Em

And harder than the earth
