for the woman so white

They were right over the house,

their wings swished on my head.

She grumbled in a dimpled disdain.
A
D
Am
Escaping down south,
G
D
she said, kicking the bed,
F#m
As her pale parent winced
G
A
D
with old pain.
A
Bb
C
The least they could do,

as they fly by today,

grey geese go,

Sometimes your heart aches inside,

Am
F
so you fear you will die

And the reasons, well God knows,

Cause the view out the window

is just a piece of the sky

The wind off the hill came

and jiggled the pain

Sorrow just spilled from

their hearts once again
A
Dm
Bb
Then the room got so still
C
D
as the woman explained
F#m

Mercy that turns you to tears
A
D
Am
Now God's got a house
G
and a place set apart
D
A
D
G

with a porch that sits over the sea
D
And he's fixed up a room
Am
G
D
that looks out from his heart
F#m
G
A
D
and he's saving it just for me
Bb
C
But I'll gaze out his window
D
to this world here below
F#m
D
Gm
C
and laugh in the wind
F
A
blowing so you will know

I that my love for you has

been growing,

even though we've been

A
apart through the years.

And a kitchen of small -talk relief

Her mother was dead

and words were a wall
F#m
E
A
Behind which lay all of her grief
