Verse 1:
Am I see you in windows Am That open so wide G There's nothing beyond them Am And no one insideVerse 2:
Am You kick off your sandals Am And shake out your hair G The salt on your shoulders Am Like sparks in the airVerse 3:
Am There's silt on your ankles Am And sand on your feet G The river too shallow Am The ocean too deepVerse 4:
Am You smile at your suffering Am The sweetest reprieve G Why did you leave us? Am Why did you leave?C You kick off your sandals C And shake out your hair E7 It's torn where you're dancing E7 It's torn everywhereVerse 5:
Am It's torn on the right Am And it's torn on the left F It's torn in the centre F Fmaj7b5 E Which few can acceptVerse 6:
Am It's torn where there's beauty Am It's torn where there's death G It's torn where there's mercy Am But torn somewhat lessVerse 7:
Am It's torn in the highest Am From kingdom to crown G The messages fly Am But the network is downVerse 8:
Am Bruised at the shoulder Am And cut at the wrist G The sea rushes home Am To its thimble of mistVerse 9:
Am The opposites falter Am The spirals reverse G And Eve must re-enter Am The sleep of her birthC And up through the system C The worlds are withdrawn E7 From every dominion E7 The mind stood upon Am And now that you told her Am And now that it's done F The name has no number F Fmaj7b5 E Not even the oneVerse 10:
Am Come gather the pieces Am All scattered and lost G The lie in what's holy Am The light in what's notOutro Am You kick off your sandals Am And shake out your hair G It's torn where you're dancing Am It's torn everywhereVerse 11:
Am The story's been written Am The letter's been sealed G You gave me a lily Am But now it's a field
