-SONG-

[Intro i-ii-iii]

i pick up a broken comb
run it through my thin grey hair
though i don’t have any plans tonight
i’m not going anywhere
well i should have seen this coming
don’t know why i’m surprised
cos every vessel on its way down
takes with it the captain’s life

[see “though i’m blind…” tab above]
though i’m blind my dear i see
the parade goes on without me
my body aches my mind it weeps
for you …. for you

[Intro i x2]

tonight i’m locked outside my building
guess i must have lost the keys
so i’ll just sit on the sidewalk
and let the snow fall on my knees
and if i made it to a payphone
i don’t know who i would call
so for now i’ll close my eyes and rest
my crooked back against the wall

[G-G2 x3]

i read that old men will see visions
and young men will follow dreams
and i believed it when i read it
i see your face in everything
now your honey jars are frozen
and in the window your books have browned
and there’s too much room inside our bed
i think i’ll join you in the ground

[see “though i’m blind…” tab above]
though i’m blind my dear i see
let the chorus sing without me
my body breaks my mind it sleeps
with you oh oh oh

[G-G2 x3 – G]

tab by chris kaprys

She came in the night on the ninth of October
They looked me in my red eyes and said she won’t last
We all knew that she should’ve slept until mid-December
When it comes to the lot I have learned, I can’t count on the cast

That night a vision came
At the same time both vivid and vague
Of a father looking on
As he burns to the ground the house that he made

When I woke, I had been slain in the spirit of reason
Bap-tized in the rolling dark waters of doubt
’Cause I’m told it’s your will to withhold, but it feels like treason
A rain cloud refusing to pour in a season of drought

That night a vision came
At the same time both vivid and vague
Of a father looking on
As he burns to the ground the house that he made

And I heard him say
It was well on its way
Just look how it swayed
How it crumbled and caved
As the crimson [C/G]glow of the fire caught his eye
I could tell he could hear, as well could I
That along with the crackle and growl of the fire
Came a call quite small from inside–
I’m in here alive

But now, a child is born, she is bent but not broken
A spark, a seed and a sprout
A miracle or catastrophe
This child who’s orphaned her family
