Dm            Am        Bb      
Once upon the moment of beauty 
         Am
laid long past

    Bb                     Dm 
the itch on the cheek of a mute 
        Am        A
mouth clasped

     Bb                        Dm 
In a twirled looking glass, to go 
            Am               
or stay, in course at its own 
    A
display

Gm              Dm               
A pot, a pan, a cutlery board, a 
Bb                     Asus2  Am 
pepper and black spice tray
 A  Asus4


Dm              Am        
Time spooled, unspinning, Life 
Bb             Am
scrolls unravel

    Gm           Dm               
The telling tale wends, bends and 
Bb                    Am
breaks these tomes we travel

Bb         Dm       Am    A
Over and again we abide

              D5    D#5 (repeat D5 
and D#5)
but which side now of the 
Looking-glass façade am I?


Dm                  Am     
Memories haunt like diamonds, 
       Bb                 Am
Reminiscence swirls as smoke

Bb               Dm        Am   
Nettles in the morning, At night
                  A
 steeped straw of oat

Bb                  Dm            
Petals of jasmine, anemones, In a 
Am           A
water bowl afloat

    Gm                 Dm         
How grace arranged the chance 
        Bb                  Asus2 
array, Come eventide's shifting 
Am A Asus4
glow

Dm                Am              
Bend and stretch, swing and sway, 
Bb                      Am
I am as a snake in your hands

       Gm               Dm        
Wading loose as oars of two creaky
                  Bb               
 boats, that play patterns with 
          Am
silt on the sand

Bb                 Dm
Black coruscation, loam liquid beads

        Bb                A       
The Orb Weavers spin the length of
       Dm   Bb   Asus4  A
 their wheels…
