D-THING
in that September off
Isle aux Morts
the desultory sea
grew more so through the night
and made one think of
tawny ports,
as aspen tremblin'
in tomorrow's thorough light
G
and of Tallulah Bankhead
and Canada Lee
D-THING
somewhere far-off, peaceful, sleeping
and done with acting
G
past the Dire Wolf's lair
on a Newfoundland's paws
D-THING
close to nowhere
and halfway across
[Chorus]
G A
but never more 'here'
Bm D
expanse getting broader
G A
though bigger boats been
Bm
done by less water
G A Bm D
though better boats been done by this water
G A D-THING
though better boats been done by less water
D-THING
in that September off
Isle aux Morts
colourable seas
grew more to through the night
G
And made one think of
yawnin' shores
D-THING
Gambier-bleached
in tomorrow's thorough light
G
and the Tallulah Bankhead
and Canada Lee
D-THING
somewhere far-off, peaceful, sleeping
they learned to love sleep
[Chorus]
G A
at the Dire Wolf's crest
Bm D
the Newfoundland paused
G A
desolate's best
Bm D
was gotten across
G A
we were never more 'here'
Bm D
expanse getting broader
G A
when better boats been
Bm D
done by this water
[Solo]
G
D-THING
[Chorus]
G A
at the Dire Wolf's best
Bm D
the Newfoundland paused
G A
so desperate as
Bm D
to be a lost cause
G A
you were never more hear
Bm D
expanse getting broader
G A
when better boats been
Bm D
done by this water
G A Bm D
where bigger boats been done by less water
G A Bm D
and betting boats been done by this water
G A Bm D
when bigger boats been done by less water
G A Bm D
and better boats been done by this water
