Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 if the sound that gets made with each going away

 were to lean on my knuckles to come

 then all the spinning about making moths in my mouth

 like a hymn from the heavens would hum

(Same Thing Throughout)

babies sweet on the floor ever calling for more

ever tasting their flight on their tongues

see them roll on the ground with their bellies so round

know they're bound to keep rolling along

and mrs. juliette low sings so pretty and slow

singing 'boy aint you going so wrong?

if your voice is to pray and your legs is to stay

then where you been going so long?'

yet still the light likes to fade at the end of each day

and it shines like a curtain of glass

onto some state of grace where her movements takes place

aint we always so going so fast

in the chill of some gray afternoon

 in the still fading light of my room

 i'll be aching to say

 lover don't go away

 and won’t go away
