On The One Day Dead Face Of My Father Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Can you touch me now with your marble lips
[E]an [Bb]d increase [Am]your love?
Can you now touch me with your dead
hand and [E]direct me in my path?
Now [Am]can you see me in your dead and
[Em]say what [Am]is right?
Though you know [F]the answer now,
[Am]now in your stillness pave the way of my doom.
[E]Cold thoughts in your giving [Am]creep away and stay in your marble wall,
[E]and cold tombstone
in your stair.
[Am]Rise now above your mound, you moon,
and see your [E]sun in your eye touch [Am]again the fond
the fountain of his [Em]love,
grow the [Am]dead and deadly of [F]you mine.
[Dm]Can the paint and corrupt of your image col
[Am]or the size [Em]of my want?
[Bb]Can your star [Dm]in its mighty walk [Bb]balk my
[Am]evolution in its stride?
[Dm]Guide me [E]now in your silence.
[Am]Cough up one silent prayer and
stare at me again
[Dm]and [E]see the [Am]woven fabric of your doing
bend his knee and plea in the tired
optic of your stare,
[E]a prayer [Em]of acceptance.
Farther in [Am]your mind, and farther away [Em]I stay,
marvellous [Am]and crying,
Hoping that by and by, in your heart,
I might grow in your love's [Am]sight.[E][Am]
