Drought

[Em]Summer move forward and stitch me the fabric of fall                    [C]
[G]Wrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us all                 [D]
[Am]How sweet is the day
[Em]I'm craving a darkness
[C]As I sit tucked away with my back to the wal[G]l
[Am]And the taste of dried-up hopes in [Em]my mouth
[C]And the landscape of merry and desperate drought [G]
[Dm]How much longer dear angels
[Em]Let winterlight come
[Am]And spread your white sheets over my empty [C]house                    [G]
[Em]Summer move forward and leave your heat anchored in dust                          [C]
[G]Forgotten him, cheated him, painted illusions of lust                  [D]
[Am]Now language escape, fugitive of[Em] forgiveness
[C]Leaving as trace only circles of ru[G]st
[Am]And the taste of dried-up hopes in m[Em]y mouth
[C]And the landscape of merry and desperate drought   [G]
[Am]How much longer dear angels
[Em]Come break me with ice
[Am]Let the water of calm trickle[C] over my doubts           [G]
[Am]Come let me drown   [G]
[Em]Angels no fi[C]re no salt [G]on the plow       [D]
[Em]Carry me down [Am]
[Em]Bury me down  [D]
[Am]And the taste of dried-up hopes in my m[Em]outh
[C]And the landscape of merry and desperate drought   [G]
[Dm]Once I knew myself
[Em]And with knowing came love
[C]I would know love again if I had faith enough          [D]                  [G]
[Em]Too far is next spring and her jubilant shou[Am]t                       [Bm]
[N.C.]So angels, inside Is the only[D] way out             [Dm]                       [D]
