"Drought"

Em                                                                      C
Summer move forward and stitch me the fabric of fall
G                                                                     D
Wrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us all
Am
How sweet is the day
Em
I'm craving a darkness
C                                           G     
As I sit tucked away with my back to the wall
Am                                 Em
And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth
C                                                G
And the landscape of merry and desperate drought
Dm
How much longer dear angels
Em
Let winterlight come
Am                                         C                        G
And spread your white sheets over my empty house
Em                                                                                C
Summer move forward and leave your heat anchored in dust
G                                                                      D
Forgotten him, cheated him, painted illusions of lust
Am                              Em
Now language escape, fugitive of forgiveness
C                                  G
Leaving as trace only circles of rust
Am                                  Em
And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth
C                                                  G
And the landscape of merry and desperate drought
Am
How much longer dear angels
Em
Come break me with ice
Am                           C                         G
Let the water of calm trickle over my doubts
Am                  G
Come let me drown
Em          C          G                 D
Angels no fire no salt on the plow
Em            Am
Carry me down
Em            D 
Bury me down
Am                                     Em
And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth
C                                                  G
And the landscape of merry and desperate drought
Dm
Once I knew myself
Em
And with knowing came love
C                                                      D       G      
I would know love again if I had faith enough
Em                                          Am                      Bm
Too far is next spring and her jubilant shout
NC                         D                    Dm        D
So angels, inside Is the only way out
