Verse:

is it ever gonna not
be so hard to see you around
am i really, really, really, really gonna have to
really gonna have to, really have to leave town (woo)
i mean i called upon a bunch of angels
calling “angels, aint you supposed to come and take away these blues?
i mean we’ve came upon a bunch of rabies
and there isn’t nothing all us little animals can do

PreChorus:

with all five kinds of reins and all nine kinds of thunderings

or eighteen white horses if won’t none of them come to me”

Chorus:

don’t plant no more feet, love, in that garden of blame
don’t break me no more, love, i’m already tame

Verse:

is it ever gonna stop
this trouble of just being around my friends
am i really, really, really gonna have to
really gonna have to, really have to leave town again
i mean, i layed myself upon the water
calling water ain’t you supposed to come and save us all from all these flames?
i mean we’re caught among the awful branches
and you know theyre burning us and yes, they’re learning all of us’s names

PreChorus:

i mean i stood your shore all wilted and wondering
aint you got no home for me? ain’t you still sweet for me?

Chorus:

don’t plant no more feet love in that forest of blame
don’t break me no more love i’m already tame

Are you getting a lot of attention now
Are you bleeding in every direction now
Are they covering you up with affection now
Are they giving you a lot of attention now

They told me my eyes
Would never be clearer
To hold on to mine
Make good money out here
They told me those lies
Just a grinning from ear to ear
They showed me a lie
They said “here is our offer, ain’t it fine”

Are you getting a lot of attention now
Are you bleeding in every direction now
Are they covering you up with affection now
Are you getting a lot of attention now

The road is alive
With the trouble and fear
Frozen and blind
That’s how they couple out here
And oh me oh my
They call me coloured up here
I looked in their eyes
Said I ain’t came to Los Angeles, baby, just to die

Are you getting a lot of attention now
Are you bleeding in every direction ain’t you now
Are they covering you up with affection ain’t they now
Are you getting a lot of attention ain’t you now

After the cocaine lights

I will miss you

More than ever

And to color my eyes into rose
Is to ask of my beaten bones
To be less of meat and stone
And more of feather

But lord they’re rolling me away

Ain’t they rolling me away

Don’t they roll oh oh oh

In the morning in the kitchen
I can hear my own blood clicking
So I stand there and I listen
Til the glowing begins

There is light that pours sweet from new hips
There is beer that pours sweet through my lips
There is gold where the cold button sits
It’s just a showy amen

And in the hallway, in a slip
She says ‘hey, don’t you like my newest trick’
And I say ‘yeah that’s a pretty good trick
Would you show me again’

And lord I truly am awake
And lord, truly I am afraid
And, lord, truly I remain?

In the darkness
After the cocaine lights
I will miss you
With no warning

I will recover my sense of grace
And rediscover my rightful place
Yes and cover my face
With the morning

Relative to capo:

Mama there?s wolves in the house
Mama they won?t let me out
Mama they?re mating at night
Mama they won?t make nice

They?re pacing and glowing bright
Their faces all snowy and white
Bury their paws in the stone
And make for my heart as their home

Chorus:

They tumble and fight, and they?re beautiful
On the hilltops at night, they are beautiful
Blazing with light, is the whitest and the tallest and the biggest one
She?s muscled and fine, when she runs

They?re tearing up holes in the house
They?re tearing their claws in the ground
They?re staring with blood in their mouths
Mama they won?t let me out

Chorus

Mama there?s wolves in the house
Mama I tried to put them out
And mama I know you?re too wise
To wait ?til those wolves make nice

enjoy the song.

Capo 6, Key of F#
(standard tuning EADGBe)

[C/G]
[C/G]I remember evenings when my dad would sing
Hiding in the hallways, I am listening
[C/G]Keeping still my body until it’s borne aloft
Her hair is soft her breath is soft and her name is soft
[C/G]And gather me completely in her sighing hands
[C/G]My dove my dove my lamb

[C/G]
Born with ocean thunder underneath our veins
Lonelier than cows left standing in the rain
Holy when our weight into the waves is tossed
Though ships get lost and fish get lost and names get lost
She will wait to greet me where it meets dry land
My dove my dove my lamb

So be careful of that language some words are stones
They’ll lead you out from town and leave you all alone
Past the mirrored diamond mares that run all night
Where camptown ladies sing that song ‘aw come alright’
But lo they sing it sweetly so I’ll understand
My dove my dove my lamb

Though my sight be near and my way be long
Though the light I chase be disappeared by dawn
I have seen her standing on the roofs at night
I have seen her silver figure bathed and bright
And I have seen her sleeping in the cold white sand
My dove my dove my lamb

So even in these cities where she’s haunting me
Even when my weariness is wanting me
Even when my wickednesses want to breathe
Even in these dirty clubs counting 1-2-3
I will keep a singing til I no more can
My dove my dove my lamb

And later if I’m better I’ll be born again
I’ll pull my newborn body from the thorns and limbs
Finding with my fingers where they’ve torn the page
And writ upon it neatly though in trembling hand
My dove my dove my lamb

Then later in the evening I hear trumpets ring
I stretch out in the dark and I am listening
Studying the sadness in your perfect limbs
Move them under mine until they learn to blend
And I will keep repeating til they understand
My dove my dove my lamb

SPOTIFY LIVE SESSION:

Intro:|E / / /|x6
Some say love is a burning thing
C#m A
And that it makes a fiery ring
Oh but I know love as a fading thing
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
See, honey, I saw love. You see, it came to me
C#m A
It put its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
C#m A [TRANSITION 1]
Into something I am not recognizing yet

See, the cage, it called. And I said, ‘Come on in’
C#m A
I will not open myself up this way again
Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand
C#m A
I will not lay like this for days now upon end
You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
C#m A
To be acknowledge by some touch from his gnarled hands
You see, the cage, it called. And I said, ‘Come on in’
C#m A [TRANSITION 2]
I will not open myself up this way again

E B
Cause see, the moon is bright in that treetop night
C#m A
I see the shadows that we cast in the cold, clean light
And my feet are gold. And my heart is white
And we race out on the desert plains all night
See, honey, I am not some broken thing
I do not lay here in the dark waiting for thee
No my heart is gold. My feet are light
C#m A [TRANSITION 3]
And we race out on the desert plains all night

|E / / / |B / / / |C#m / / / |A / / / |
Oooooooo
|E / / / |B / / / |C#m / / / |A / / / |A / / / |
Ooooooooo

So some say love is a burning thing
C#m A
They say it makes some fiery ring
Oh but I know love as a caging thing
C#m A
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
Yeah and all you folks, you come to see
You just stand there in the glass looking at me
But my heart is wild. And my bones are steam
C#m A [TRANSITION 2]
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free

Leave another, how can you go?
How can’t you know, I mean by now?
We’re kids forever, ain’t we tho?
Ain’t we so high and wild?

You say, ‘Oh, you’ll spin your heartache into gold’
And I suppose but it rips my heart out don’t you know
But if I’m waking each morning babe
All aching and ornery babe
All vacant and thorny, hej I’m down to go

The kids of summer, don’t we glow?
Oh ain’t we bold, just wilding out
Hej can this kill me? Hej, I don’t know
But I been sho finding out

You say, ‘Oh, you’ll spin your heartache into gold’
And I suppose but it rips my heart out don’t you know
But if I’m waking each morning babe
All aching and ornery babe
All vacant and thorny, no, it’s time to go

Leave the city. Can’t we go?
Can’t we tho? I mean, right now.
I know it’s a pity. Hej, but it’s getting cold
And it’s getting old, this whoring around

You say, ‘Oh, you’ll spin your heartache into gold’
And I suppose but it rips my heart out don’t you know
But if I’m waking each morning babe
All aching and ornery babe
All jaded and thorny, no, I’m down to go
