The Blue Distance

[Verse 1]
           C        F             
Across the railroad tracks, down 
   Bb     F
the gravel road
           C       Dm   C        
headlights throw a beam   on the way
Bb
 back home.
    C         F            Bb
Lie down, lie down, listen wide 
    F
awake
       C           F            
To the trains that roll, to the 
Bb
sound time makes.

[Verse 2]
      C               F          
It passes through the air like a 
Bb     F
summer storm
         C     Dm     C        
Catching on my sleeve   like a 
Bb
rose's thorn.
     C       F             Bb    
Sometimes it whispers, sometimes 
   F
it roars
C              F           Bb
Flies like the wind, waits by the 
door.

[Refrain]
    F Bb       F               
And I know you know and that’s 
Dm    F
all I need
         Bb       F              
When the light of day looks like 
Am
night to me
            Bb   F           
When you’re far away and I’m all 
Dm   F
alone
  Bb       F       C        F
I can’t explain, I know you know.

[Verse 3]
   C           F               Bb
It fills up my chest, it fills up
    F
 my eyes
        C         Dm  C           
like an old glass jar filled with 
Bb
fireflies.
    C         F          Bb      
Sometimes I’m still, sometimes I 
F
sigh
    C         F          Bb
Sometimes I’m lost and I don’t know 
why

[Refrain]
    F Bb       F               
But I know you know and that’s 
Dm    F
all I need
         Bb       F              
When the light of day looks like 
Am
night to me.
            Bb   F           
When you’re far away and I’m all 
Dm   F
alone
  Bb       F       C        F
I can’t explain, I know you know.

[Verse 4]
       C       F                 
In the morning light, before the 
Bb        F
heat sets in
         C       Dm  C         
Call the dogs to run where the shade
Bb
 has been.
           C        F             
Across the railroad tracks lay 
  Bb     F
your silver down
        C          F           Bb
Find it smooth and flat, stars for 
your crown.

[Verse 5]
       C    F                  Bb
In the blue distance where our 
      F
lives unfurl
    C            Dm   C           
The edges of the sky,   the beauty
 Bb
 of the world.

[Refrain]
    F Bb       F               
But I know you know and that’s 
Dm    F
all I need
         Bb       F              
When the light of day looks like 
Am
night to me.
            Bb   F           
When you’re far away and I’m all 
Dm   F
alone
  Bb       F       C        F
I can’t explain, I know you know.
