[F#m]Winter solstice, the earth open [E]wide
with a heart crushed like footsteps in [F#m]snow
(((fictitious persons disclaimers im[E]plied
to all listening from rooftops be[F#m]low)))
it had rained and the air was like [E]perfume outside
as the sky changed [A] [G#m] [C#m]
[F#m]we began when the ground was still [E]dry
planting vineyards where vineyards don’t [F#m]grow
shaping cypress with pitch on both [E]sides
for the nights when our trumpets won’t [F#m]blow
that regret still there circling like [E]vultures inside
as your face changed?[A] [G#m] [C#m]
They don’t stay inside. [E]
(there but for Thy grace go I...)
[A]through the eyes of ma[C#m]chines we viewed immaculate [F#m]scenes
that had [C#m]already passed me by
[A]all the stars on the [C#m]ground, Noah’s ark in the [F#m]clouds
set [C#m]sail in the flood of my mind,
[A]the other animals [C#m]drowned in blasphemous [F#m]towns
and [C#m]asked as they passed me by
[A]"was to do as I [C#m]please a European di[F#m]sease?”[C#m]
[F#m]Winter solstice, the earth open [E]wide
with a mouth closed and face carved like [F#m]stone
dressed the dawn in the air drawn de[E]signs
as the sounds rose in waveforms un[F#m]known
and you smile but your vampire com[E]plexion still shows
so the past goes.[A] [G#m] [C#m]
[F#m]August 3rd, all the earth had closed [E]down,
so with breastplates of righteousness [F#m]low
searched for streams in the caves under[E]ground
where the Baptists and bootleggers [F#m]go
when the sun hits Deer Flat your re[E]flection still shows
and your past shows.[A] [G#m] [C#m]
It’s really all that [E]shows
(so often unrecognizably so)
[A]We gave up on our [C#m]dreams for those projected on [F#m]screens
that had [C#m]already passed me by
[A]with further suffering [C#m]found in our insufferable [F#m]sounds
and the [C#m]thought in the back of my mind:
[A]"does my misery [C#m]feed a metaphysical [F#m]need
that’s [C#m]long since passed me by,
[A]neither reasoning[C#m] why
nor offering re[F#m]ply?” [C#m]
