Oh love is that a vulture don t tell me it s a vulture

It used to be that when you said you were leaving
G
I'd want to follow you

But never where the dogs bark never where the dogs bark
A D A G
and I remember praying at the dinner table
A D G
For you to come around maybe pat me on the back when you're able
Bm D
Now I've a dream of you with half a face
A
and you take me to a rooftop and skin me
Bm
Come on Abel are you going to skin me
D A
And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark
Bm D A
When the shadow of the moon won't do
Bm D A
cause on you the moon is but a pearl

Stolen from your mother's bedside the day you came into the world
G

A D G
for you to come around maybe pat me on the back when you're able

and sweet aromas fill the halls from all the bodies that came before
