There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
G Gsus9/F# C7+ Gsus9/F#
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
C Dsus9 G C
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
G Gsus9/F# C7+ Gsus9/F#
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms
C Dsus9 G C
There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
G Gsus9/F# C7+ Gsus9/F#
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
C Dsus9 G C
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves
C Dsus9 G C
There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
G Gsus9/F# C7+ Gsus9/F#
Springtime calls her children 'till she let's them go at last
C Dsus9 G C
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
G Gsus9/F# C7+ Gsus9/F#
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds
C Dsus9 G C
There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all
G Gsus9/F# C7+ Gsus9/F#
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
But my hands remember hers, rolling 'round the shaded ferns
G Gsus9/F# C7+ Gsus9/F#
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned
C Dsus9 G C
There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
G Gsus9/F# C7+ Gsus9/F#
Sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me
C Dsus9 G C
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
G Gsus9/F# C7+ Gsus9/F#
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone
Dsus9: Gsus9/F#
