We were cloaked in the awning of 
G/B      D/A
night or early morning.
Cadd9                         
Through the headboard there’s a 
             G/B       D/A
flicker of light 
and light warning.
Cadd9                    
Sophie’s on the bunk overhead 
G/B          D/A
reading Mary Oliver
Cadd9                   G/B       
while I lay still in my bed. 
 D/A

That’s when I see you there.


Cadd9     G/B   D/A
Fawn doe, light snow.
Cadd9                         G/B
Make me feel alive, 
make me 
               D/A
believe that all my selves align.
Cadd9      G/B   D/A
Fawn, doe, light snow.
Cadd9                             

Spots on brown of white 
make me 
G/B              D/A
believe that it is all alright.

Cadd9                         G/B
Your soft face pressed to the 
   D/A
wilt, 
first spring sunrise
Cadd9                     G/B    D/A
standing low on quivering stilts.
Cadd9                        G/B 
In attempting to keep you to stay
      D/A
 I am raising no alarm.
Cadd9             G/B     D/A
It is just us two alone.
              Cadd9             
Then I feel a sigh of wind, your 
                G/B              
raising eyes 
a rolling fog that 
D/A
lets you hide
    Cadd9                          
and I can hear the rustling as you 
G/B   D/A
go.   
Oh, go slow.


Cadd9     G/B   D/A
Fawn doe, light snow.
Cadd9                         G/B
Make me feel alive, 
make me 
                D/A
believe that I don’t have to die.
Cadd9      G/B   D/A
Fawn, doe, light snow.
Cadd9                             

Spots on brown of white 
make me 
G/B                  D/A
believe that there’s a God 
sometimes.


Cadd9                             
The ring around your mothers heart
      G/B              D/A
 
grows saccharine then falls apart
    Cadd9                          
and I can hear the rustling as you 
G/B        D/A
go.
Cadd9                             
You camouflaged or clearly seen 
  G/B             D/A

and nameless in the in-between
    Cadd9                          
and I can hear the rustling as you 
G/B        D/A
go.
    Cadd9                    G/B  
The firing of rifles off 
the echo
        D/A
 hits you hard enough
    Cadd9                          
and I can hear the rustling as you 
G/B        D/A
go.
  Cadd9                         

A soft and skittish self inside
G/B                D/A
 
shines golden, opal, chrysolite
    Cadd9                          
and I can feel the rustling as you 
G/B        D/A
go. 
     Oh, go slow.
  
Cadd9                      G/B 
A mob a voices harmonize 
and tell
             D/A
 me that youre not alive
    Cadd9                          
but I can feel the rustling as you 
G/B        D/A
go.
