D#  A#          G#
      The icons cluttering your 
bureau
D#  A#           G#
      Are eyeing me as I walk in
           Cm      A#     G#     
      Your guardians are present 
    D#
in here
            Cm           A#    
      And I trust that they have 
           D#
always been

D#  A#          G#
      Hiding somewhere in your 
closet
D#  A#           G#
      Collecting moisture from your 
face
           Cm      A#     G#
      Your secret world speaks 
           D#
without words
                 Cm        
      And I feel clumsy and 
 A#                 G#
cumbersome in this place

               Cm        A#       
      But if I want them too, will
      G#          D#
 they speak to me soon
           Cm       A#          
      In a language ripe for my 
G#
listening?
               Cm        A#       
      When the harsh sun breaks in
      G#            D#
 your stained glass eyes
          Cm        A#          
      The refracted light keeps 
D#
glistening

D#  A#       G#
      A drapery of clashing fabrics
D#  A#         G#
      In every corner of your room

      They hung like lace on the 
G#          D#
whitewashed face
             Cm             A#    
      Of the walls that are 
         D#
begging you to move

D#  A#              G#
      And leave the things that hold
 a history
D#  A#              G#
      As if they're present in your 
will
        Cm        A#          G# 
      A brand new place a few 
   D#
miles away
                 Cm          A#   
      But I just wasn't sure I was
         G#
 staying still

                 Cm          A#   
      But if you choose this too, 
        G#     D#
it's an honest move
            Cm            A#      
      And I guess that it makes 
     G#
for no deferences
                Cm       A#       
      There's a gleam of blue from
   G#           D#
 a cold night's moon
          Cm        A#          
      Just a touch too soon, two 
G#
deliverances

Cm  A#      G#          D#     
      On an empty panel floor I
     Cm
 lie here
          A#             G#       
      For communion just waiting 
   D#
for one more
                 Cm           A#  
      But in the quiet empty hours
     G# D#
 of my afternoon
              Cm            A#    
      What am I supposed to do? 
          G#
What was I supposed to do?

Cm  A#         G#               
      But if I want them to, 
       D#
will they come to me soon?
                Cm    A#          
      Will they fluctuate between 
G#            D#
midnight and past noon?
                  Cm          
      Was kind of banking on a 
 A#            G#           D#
future that'd be involving you
                     Cm          
      But I couldn't ask this of 
A#              G#
you, I couldn't ask that

              Cm            A#
      In this young night's sky 
            G#      D#
there are pinhole lights
               Cm         A#      
      Find the shape of a harp and
    G#
 an arrowhead
           Cm        A#     
      Do I hear your tunes or 
    G#        D#
acknowledge wounds
             Cm               A#  
      That I got from rubbing 
          D#
elbows with a sharpened edge?

               Cm          A#     
      But if I choose this too 
     G#          D#
does it count as my move?
              Cm      A#      G#
      I can't drop my history just 
to become new
              Cm                   
      Now I'm swimming through the 
A#              G#      D#
nothingness and the absolute
                     Cm          
      But I couldn't ask this of 
A#              G#
you, I couldn't ask that
