    Step outside
                         D5
 This hasn't happened in a too-long time
                               F#5
A new warm wind has pulled your soul from mine
                    E5
Disintegrating into green


A5
  Fields of flies
                          D5
They wave their wire wings against my thighs
                            F#5
My eyelids, weapons against all un-kinds
                             E5
It makes me wonder where you've been


A5
  Through the pines

Across the coast
                D5
Chase the ocean-line

My toes are tapping
                F#5
As your words unwind
                             E5
I've stayed exactly where I stand


                  A5
And when we stop
                   E5
It feels as though
                       D5
We're rolling backwards
                A5
Down the road


               A5
When I'm still
                  E5
My chest implodes
                        D5
My eyes rolled backwards
                   A5
Rolling backwards


A5
  Back inside
                    D5
I study miles of atlas pages

Blind

My cells are stirring
                 F#5
And I've made my mind up
                        E5
To go down the lane, again


A5
  Let me lie

Against your shoulder
                D5
In the desert night

Beneath the boulder
                F#5
Of an old test site
                             E5
And try to ask me where I've been


A5
 I remind you
                            D5
Of the story of the sailor's bride

Who finally stole the boat
              F#5
And rode the tide
                      E5
Into the welcoming ocean


                    A5
And when she stopped
                  E5
It felt as though
                     F#5
The seas had swallowed
           A5
Her ankles


              A5
When I'm still
              E5
I feel just so
                 F#5
Rolling backwards
                    A5
I'm rolling backwards


            A5
When we stop
                 E5
It feels as though
                    F#5
We're rolling backwards
            A5
Down the road


             A5
When I'm still
                E5
My chest implodes
                 F#5
Rolling backwards
                    A5
I'm rolling backwards


            A5
When we stop
                E5
It feels as though
                      F#5
We're rolling backwards
              A5
Down the road
