I have never known peace
C Bb F G F
Like the damp grass that yields to me
Bb Em
I have never known hunger
C Bb F G
Like these insects that feast on me
Bb Em C
A thousand teeth and yours among them i know
Bb F Em
Our hungers appeased
C Bb F G
Our heart beats becoming slow
G C D G
We'll lay here for years or for hours
D G D G
Thrown here or found To freeze or to thaw
G C D G
So long we'd become the flowers
G D G G
Two corpses we were two corpses I saw
G
And they'd find us in a week
C G
When the weather gets hot
C G D G
After the insects have made their claim
D G Bb
I'll be home with you I'll be home with you
Bb Em
I have never known sleep
C Bb G Bb
Like this slumber that creeps to me
Em
I have never known color
C Bb F G Bb
Like this morning reveals to me
Em
And you haven't moved an inch
C G Bb
Such that I would not know
Bb Em
If you sleep always like this
C Bb F G
Flesh calmly going cold
G C Em G
We'll lay here for years or for hours
D G D G
Your hand in my hand so still and discreet
C D G
So long we'd become the flowers
D G
We'd feed well the land and worry the sheep
G
And they'd find us in a week
C G
When the cattle'd show fear
Am G
After the insects have made their claim
C D G
After the foxes have known our taste
C G D G
I'll be home with you I'll be home with you
G C
And they'd find us in a week
G C G
When the weather gets hot
G C D
And they'd find us in a week
G C G
When the cattle'd show fear
G D G
And they'd find us in a week
When the buzzards get loud
After the insects have made their claim
After the foxes have known our taste
After the raven has had his say
Em G D G
I'll be home with you I'll be home with you
D G G
I'll be home with you I'll be home with you
