MARILLION – Memory Of Water
from the This Strange Engine (1997) record
I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
By the standing pool where you drank me
D A/C# Bm
And filled me full of thirsty love
Bm A G
And the memory of water
Bm A G
I wonder if a king still fishes there
Bm A G
His back towards the burned-out air
D A/C# Bm
His laughing catches singing loud
G A Bm
Of the memory of water
D A/C#
Your taste is blood and ecstasy
Bm A
But I must drink you all alone
G F#m
You're freckled like a speckled egg
E Bm A E/G# G
A dove, but this bird has flown
D A/C# Bm A
O stay with me sweet memory
G F#m E G
O stay with me
Bm A Bm
I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
Bm A Bm
By the standing pool where you drank me
D A/C# Bm
As pain flows through me like champagne
G A Bm
Of the memory of water
