[VERSE 1]
Cm
Howl to the almighty wind
F
I howl to the undivided sea
D#
Oh the agony of separation Oh the agony
Cm
I spoke to the almighty wind
F
I called to the undivided sea
D#
Oh the agony of separation Oh the agony
Cm F Cm F Cm
Oh the agony
[VERSE 2]
F
Where is my garden out of time?
F
We had one face, we had one name
D#
In restless spirals of attention
Cm
Were we one and were the same as the undying wind
F
Same as every shore and every shell
D#
As if in us the world awakened, looked at last upon itself
Cm
To look at last upon itself
[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE 3]
Cm F
Oh, have I a hunger to arise, escape my size and lose my name
D#
And every hour of inattention, all the vestiges of shame
Cm F
Rain will come to wash the gutters down
F
Waves to throw the fish over the sea
D#
Rain is pouring down in exaltation
Cm
Rain falls down on me
[VERSE 4]
F
I’ve known the world of lights and fences, every animal’s afraid
D#
I have known shame and subjugation
Cm
In a word, within a frame
F
And so I whisper to you, love, my other heart, my only trust
D#
This is my one purification, wash my body from the dust
Cm
To wash my body from the dust
