G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) CThere (x32010@1)are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) DSummer (xx0232@1)warmed the open window of her honeymoon
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) CAnd (x32010@1)she chose a yard to burn, but the ground remembers her
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) DWooden (xx0232@1)spoons, her children stir her bougainvillea blooms
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) CThere (x32010@1)are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) DAutumn (xx0232@1)blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) CAnd (x32010@1)she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) DSunday (xx0232@1)pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) CThere (x32010@1)are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) DSpringtime (xx0232@1)calls her children 'till she lets them go at last
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) CAnd (x32010@1)she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) DSomewhere (xx0232@1)near her misplaced jar of bougainvillea seeds
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) CThere (x32010@1)are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) DWinter (xx0232@1)tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) CBut (x32010@1)my hands remember hers, rolling 'round the shaded ferns
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) DNaked (xx0232@1)arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) CThere (x32010@1)are names across the sea, only now I do believe
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) DSometimes, (xx0232@1)with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) CBut (x32010@1)she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1) DA (xx0232@1)baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone
Enjoy =)
