Capo 8th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 the morning of the flood, it was the morning linda died

 while i was busy cutting diamonds with the corners of my life

 we drew a full house on the river it was erased before our eyes

 we know although things last forever they must change their shape sometimes

 i am safe & i am sorry in the evergreens at night

 & i am looking through your window i am staring at your mind

 when linda dies and linda dies and linda dies

 it seems to me forever i've been waiting in this tree

 & so i go now by goliath i'm my favorite enemy

 we are careless with our wishing with the truths we tell through teeth

 you be careful what you pay for when the soul is your receipt

 they are boarding up the phone; they are boarding up their eyes

 you will board open your hands; i will board the kites of time

deliver me tomorrow care of sleep, my moving boat,

 but it can take me only so far, only so far yet to go

 when linda dies and linda dies and linda dies

 we have cut through most of georgia, not 200 miles to go

 we are all buried in the jordan turns our spirits white like snow

 there is a door within its palm it will not hit us where we go
