Am             G
To Thrum a Glassy Stem
   Dm          G       Am
On fragmenting taffeta mirrors
Am                     G
Manacled to an earthen house
     Dm          G        Am
Over two bending knees an iron chain

[Chorus]

Dm      G        Am
Beetle, bone and stone
Dm         F    Am
Pine for a love unknown
       G          Dm    Am
Though winged soporific dreams
    G         F         Am
Lay sprawled, waiting expansive
G       Dm      Am
This my promise blue
    G               F    Am
The thought and its many motions
G       Dm      Am
This my promise scarlet
G              F       Am
The blush of a ripened Fruit

[Interlude]

G Dm Am G F Am x2

[Verse]

    Am               G
Lay long in sanguine laughter
  Dm      G       Am
A bed the soft of heather
Am                      G
Stashed in the branches breach
Dm       G            Am
Words to thin cracked leaves

[Chorus]

         Dm          G      Am
Like the folds of an angels wing
       Dm        F      Am
Or the crack in a devils smile
G          Dm      Am
Poetry for kin and fey
       G    F       Am
Or the unsuspecting seeker
G       Dm      Am
This my promise green
    G         F            Am
The lilt in a voice that's laughing
G       Dm      Am
This my promise gold
   G        F     Am
To sup with empty cup

[Interlude]

G Dm Am G F Am x2

[Otro]

    G          Dm           Am
The pearl that contains all pearls
     G           F         Am
The piece that evinces the puzzle
   G        Dm      Am
On peeling taffeta mirrors
   G       F       Am
To thrum a glassy stem
