Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
With the first light and the little
Fragile moon
I was out on the porch now
I'm ready for doom
And it's funny how it all came to be
The way you so plainly chose to stare at me
And the afternoon embraces you
Like a million worried hands
And I want to look forward
Go discover foreign land
In the mirror I was balancing
On tiny strings
It looks silly but oh really it's just
A physical thing
So tell me why you ask me
To do as I please
I would rather fall backwards
And forget everything
And I've tried to call on you when
I know you're not home
I'm not ready for this but it's
The way it goes
x2
It was easier when I knew
Nnothing of what I'd missed
You're so happy I can see it and that's
The worst part of it
So let her take you out
On sea
I will wave to you from the harbor
Oh little silly me
The sailors leave in the morning
I'll be waiting for you all night
The ship sets off in the morning
I'll be waiting for you all right
Oh night
Oh night
Oh night
Oh night
