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
