Key: G major
Verse 1
G
Em
Good morning to the frozen street:
C
G
I'm like a dresser full of leaves,
C
D
My eyes as dry as dust.
G
Em
There is a curtain in my mouth,
C
G
It opens and a song comes out.
C
D
Em
I've sung the loneliest words
C
D
into your listening stones.
C
D
tunes around your bones.
G
Em
Good morning Uncle with your pen,
C
G
The furniture was born again
C
D
at night while you slept in.
C
G
Double pillows held your head.
C
D
Em
I watched your shrinking skin,
C
D
And all the lines that fill your face in
Em
C
D
were falling into space.
There is a light that is so dim
Em
C
And a hand that pulls you in when you can't
G
D
swim anymore.
The freezing water fills your lungs,
G
D
all the way in.
G
Em
Your heart is held inside this box
C
G
And we've got to turn it off,
C
D
So please don't be afraid.
G
Em
The love you gave us will go on,
We'll hold your memory
C
G
when you're gone,
Em
C
D
Your self just can't be saved.
Em
C
So shut your eyes
D
Em
and I'll switch off your heart.
C
D
Watch the sick room fall apart.
C
D
Watch this machine's counter restart.
Em
C
Uncle, if I could hold your open,
I would have held it from the start.
