C
G
You asked me to jump the forty
C
-five measured feet into the water
G
But I'm no folly built for your lazy pleasure
C
If only it were so
G
Bm
Your hands were fairly stone -cold
G
C
as you placed them on my neck
We climbed on the train at
Burnham
Bm
G
We anchored our city loving
C
to our oral past
D
High above the fields of
Killar
Cranky
Bm

We made up rhymes and names
for passing polite strangers
G
You dared me out of earshot,
C
faces beamed behind backs
D
McGregor pulling on his lead to
climb more snowed -up steps
C
My winter jacket cast me out as
G
a well -dressed loon
Existing on the margins,
C
exciting to be sharing
G
C
Christmas with you all
G
I thought I'd see you up the
Berks of
C
Aberfeldy as if some common thoughts
would bring us together ten
G
years later for nothing really
C
just to look, just to drink you in
G
i carry a memory like a bag full of feathers
C
once stuck in the back of my
G
C
throat but now a warm and dream
D
and i'm more concerned about keeping the
C
neighbor's cat out of my garden than
who you may be or you may not be
G
fucking and who may be
C
dancing a jig in the middle
D
as stupid as I was believing
in fate and fairness
C
and all the big questions I could not answer
G
so I busied myself with the flippancy
C
Em
D
G
of art
C

D
G
C
G
The genius is the subtlety
of the waves
Lapping on the shore,
C
slowly taking over the
dry shell
G
C
With its salty tongue, like a lounge singer
G
An up per -tier nonchalance,
C
G
I'm caring for the land it's reclaiming I'm caring for the crowds it's destroying
C
The next day I shall walk in its wake
D
Discovering the bones in the pottery,
C
once it made it above the shoreline
Penguin visits the coast,
G
hoping to be recognized by
Descendants of descendants,
C
and taken and unloved
D
Discovering the bones and the pottery,
C
once a native of this shoreline
Penguin visits the coast,
G
hoping to be recognized by
Descendants of descendants,
C
D
G
and taken and unloved
C
Baltimore, sailed, hoping to escape my temper I put you in a song,
I wrapped you up with
cotton wool
G
Cast here as an angel,
C
battling the demons
G
Cold -bloodedly,
you took your opportunity
North
C
London,
Hogmanay, the year my faith
The was shattered,
G
C
a sunken city came alive with fireworks
D
Eager to please, I sang like a stranger
C
And me and my tape friends,
we drank you under the table
G
And the music you swore by was nothing,
C
it was terrible
D
Scared with a noise, if you're shrieking
C
The dog chased ghosts in the kitchen
He tore up the newspapers
and ate all the jam
G
An d the glassware you collected was smashed and
C
Em
D
G
lilting on the floor.

C
G
The sadness hoops through me
like a stubborn sea wind
C
When I'm feeling my worst and
the best news in the world
G
Fails to move me,
C
I cannot bear your touch or the share of words
G
Or gossip or humour,
well that's when I need you most
C
Just to be here,
to be quiet and warm and free with a drink
G
Until I forget such moments exist
C
D
When the high rolls in,
it's just a question of waiting it out
C
And that's when the music
I swear gets me through
G
C
I close my eyes and everything is okay
D
When the high rolls in,
C
it's just a question of waiting things out
And that's when the music,
I swear, gets me through

and everything's okay
Baltimore, we sailed,
hoping to escape my temper

London,
G
Hogmanay, the air my faith was shattered
