 A
    Step outside
                         D
 This hasn't happened in a too-long time
                               F#m
A new warm wind has pulled your soul from mine
                    E
Disintegrating into green


A
  Fields of flies
                          D
They wave their wire wings against my thighs
                            F#m
My eyelids, weapons against all un-kinds
                             E
It makes me wonder where you've been


A
  Through the pines

Across the coast
                D
Chase the ocean-line

My toes are tapping
                F#m
As your words unwind
                             E
I've stayed exactly where I stand


                  A
And when we stop
                   E
It feels as though
                       D
We're rolling backwards
                A
Down the road


               A
When I'm still
                  E
My chest implodes
                        D
My eyes rolled backwards
                   A
Rolling backwards


A
  Back inside
                    D
I study miles of atlas pages

Blind

My cells are stirring
                 F#m
And I've made my mind up
                        E
To go down the lane, again


A
  Let me lie

Against your shoulder
                D
In the desert night

Beneath the boulder
                F#m
Of an old test site
                             E
And try to ask me where I've been


A
 I remind you
                            D
Of the story of the sailor's bride

Who finally stole the boat
              F#m
And rode the tide
                      E
Into the welcoming ocean


                    A
And when she stopped
                  E
It felt as though
                     F#m
The seas had swallowed
           A
Her ankles


              A
When I'm still
              E
I feel just so
                 F#m
Rolling backwards
                    A
I'm rolling backwards


            A
When we stop
                 E
It feels as though
                    F#m
We're rolling backwards
            A
Down the road


             A
When I'm still
                E
My chest implodes
                 F#m
Rolling backwards
                    A
I'm rolling backwards


            A
When we stop
                E
It feels as though
                      F#m
We're rolling backwards
              A
Down the road
