       E
So the fields are stubble, the 
garden is done where
    A                              
the scary scarecrow stands and sees
     Bm
 her holding up horizons with her 
hands.

         E                       
She's so tired of reading Daddy's 
              A
lips - -that essay
                      Bm
on a frown. Watch her memories of 
human voices drown.

Chorus:

E A

           C#/A Bm                
Let horsey bray break between the 
E       A
thunder boom. Make
         C#/A  Bm                 
grasses' swish meet the cricket's 
              E        A
ring.
          C#/A  Bm           
Let every sound consecrate our 
  E          A
whispering words that
            E
Betta never heard.

Verse:

        E                          
So The backlanes tie the city down;
   A
 a mess of dirty
        Bm
string. Winter dies the same way 
every spring.

        E                          
As the sky tries on its uniform of 
A
turned off t.v.
              Bm
grey, and the way we watched her 
watch us walks away,


Chorus:

E A

          C#/A Bm            
let every rain clatter down at 
  E        A
groaning streets. Make
          C#/A  Bm           
footsteps tick, talk to echoed 
           E        A
walls.
          C#/A  Bm           
Let every sound consecrate our 
  E        A
whispering the words

that Betta never heard.

Chorus:

A

          C#/A Bm                 
Let every wind howl and creak the 
E        A
creaking doors to
          C#/A Bm                 
rooms that too much has happened 
         E        A
in.
          C#/A  Bm           
Let every sound consecrate our 
  E         A
whispering the words

that Betta never heard.
