Heather Nova: Oyster: Island
Am C G Am C G

Am C G
There are parts of me he'll never know,
Am C G
my wild horses and my river beds,
Am C G Am C G
and in my throat voices he'll never hear.
Am C G Am C G
He pulls at me like a cherry tree,
Am C G Am C G
and I can still move, but I don't speak about it.
Am C G Am C G
Pretend I'm crazy, pretend I'm dead.
Am C G Am C G
He's to scared to hit me now - he'll bring flowers instead.
Am C G Am C G
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
Am C G Am C
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
G Am
somewhere to go

Am C G Am C G
And the dogwoods shimmer in October sun,
Am C G
"oh sweet thing" he sings to me,
Am C G
"you're the only one."
Am C G Am C G
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
Am C G Am C
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
G
somewhere
Am C G Am C G
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
Am C G Am C
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
G Am
somewhere to go

Am C G Am C G
And I don't know why I can't tell my sister,
Am C G Am C G
he spat in my face again, and I don't want to die here.
Am C G
You know that dream when your feet won't move,
Am C G
you want to come but your body won't let you.
Am C G
He steals it from me.
Am C G
He steals it from me.
Am C G Am C G
It shines like sweat, like jewels,
Am C G
like something that has died to soon.
Am C G
He fucks with the beauty.
Am C G
He fucks with the beauty.
Am C G Am C G
A kiss, a kick, a kiss, a kick, a kiss kiss kick.
Am C G
He steals it from me.
Am C G
It's out of my hands again.
Am C G Am C G
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
Am C G Am C
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
G Am
somewhere to go
