[Verse]
D
A soft breeze
D/C#
With the slippery concrete black and full of muddy slush
Bm G
Contrasting with the hoarfrost, clean and hung
D
On a tunnel of silent shivering trees
D/C#
The ones you said you'd like to be
Bm G
And the birds that screamed at the sun
D
Now buried deep below the ground
D/C# Bm G
Beneath the snow, I press my shoulder to this wall between us
D D/C#
I know you are behind me and I press my shoulder to this wall
Bm G
Determined not to turn around
D
I didn't see you standing
D/C# Bm
Still that statue that I molded in my mind to kiss
G
So beautiful you'll never move again
[Interlude]
D D/C# Bm G
[Verse]
D
Someplace far away
D/C#
At some sad table littered with chipped plates
Bm G
With bad light in 48 frames from a movie on the cutting room floor
D D/C#
You said, "True meaning would be dying with you"
Bm G
And though I wanted to, I did not smile
D D/C#
But now I will give up on this wall that I have fought with
Bm G
Never uncover meaning behind our rich words
D D/C#
If I could I would make you a raging river
Bm G
With angry rapids, plied with rain
D
So you could always meander
D/C# Bm G
And forever be able to run away
D D/C#
Without contending
Bm G
With myths wrongly interpreted
D D/C# Bm G
With pain
D D/C# Bm G
A harsh wind
D D/C# Bm G
D D/C# Bm G
A harsh wind
