lyrics

(2nd) C Dm F / (None) D Em G

C
That night were we
Dm F
sixteen or thirty-three?
C
Did silver lights brighten the
Dm
darkened trees?
F C
Why did you wait beside me
Dm
until the streetcar came?
F C
Where can I find a lover with
Dm C
an unfamiliar name?
Is this fluttering a fleeting wing
Dm
or is it veined and vital?
F C
At twilight it gets hard to tell
Dm
the shadows from their idols.
F C
If you give me one more word
Dm
can I open up this code?
F C
Can we be more than conspiracy
Dm F
if we suspect what we refuse to know?

C(D) Dm(Em)
Sassafras to ecstasy, the same silk tree,
F(G) C(D) Am(Bm)
we’re two feet, twenty-nine days away.
F(G) C(D)
Sugar, paper, sublimation,
Dm(Em)
I don’t know why you stayed.
C(D) Dm(Em)
I don’t know why you stayed.
F C

C
I’m young if that’s what you feel,
Dm
you’re young if that’s what I see
F C
and if there was no string of lights
Dm F
then the moon overflowed like the sea.
C
There is no end to our names
Dn
our new calls supplant the frail
F C
and all this flickering is quickening
Dm
like rain into the vale.
F
These hands shape silhouettes
C
of other worlds on the wall.
Dm
If we can speak them into being
F
we should want to jaunt them all.

C Dm
Sassafras to ecstasy, the same silk tree,
F C Am
we’re two feet, twenty-nine days away
F C
from synodic splendor or suspension.
Dm
Turn your hand and I will stay.
C Dm
Raise your eyes and I will stay.

F C
