    Live From Cadogan Hall

I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree 
By the standing pool where you drank me 
D             A/C#            Bm
And filled me full of thirsty love 
Bm          A       G
And the memory of water

  Bm          A          G
I wonder if a king still fishes there 
Bm         A                    G
His back towards the burned-out air 
D            A/C#            Bm
His laughing catches singing loud 
G          A       Bm
Of the memory of water 

     D                  A/C#
Your taste is blood and ecstasy 
    Bm               A
But I must drink you all alone 
G                      F#m
You're freckled like a speckled egg 
E                Bm              A     E/G#    G
A dove, but this bird has flown 

  D                  A/C#     Bm     A
O stay with me sweet memory 
G F#m       E     G
O stay with me 

  Bm           A                    Bm
I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree 
Bm              A                    Bm
By the standing pool where you drank me 
D             A/C#            Bm
As pain flows through me like champagne 
G          A     Bm
Of the memory of water
