[Intro 1]
[C][F][G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]You're
calling [G]pastures,[F]
you are [C]talking to the [G]moon
[C]He [G]on coffee,
carna[C]tion and a bustle [G]spoon[C][F][C]
Spider [G]web[C]s, [F]str[G]ung on the walls,
old [F]stories[G]
[C]White girls [G]crying, [F]day[G] br[F]eak[G]s soon[C]
I sat on [G]my elbows, [C]he told his tales
[G]A cha[C]in of black cats' mortaries[G],
[C]staining his finger[G]nails[D]
[G][C][G][D][G][C][G][D][G]
He [C]handed me a photo of [Am]his [F]wife
on the same [G]homestead
[C]A fallen l[G]eaf in winter, an a[C]rtist,
a shot down [G]star[F]
[G]Here [C]is a body pai[G]nting,
[C]a flag above the t[G]ravels afar
[D]And[G] the sky[C] is yellow[G]
[C]aga[G]in st[F] the cobal[C]t blue of th[G]e bay
A [C]monk at peace an[G]d sleeping still,
[C]an escapee from dread
[F]Some[C]where a [F]dancer
steps [C]on a starry floor
[F]The music is sil[C]ver [Fm]birdsong,
a [C]light glows from behind a door.
[Am]The dancer becomes the music,
he becomes [Fm]the stars in the floor.
[F]Opens [C]the[G] door, becomes the light,
the light last[C]s forever[F] mo[C]re.
[G]Everything in his room
had [C]turned [G]to gold with [D]age.[G]
[C]dusting off [G]a manuscript,
[C]reading from a [G]fading page
[C]truth, [G]hope, passion,
[C]anger, love, des[G]pair
[C]like [G]hun[C]gry birds fre[G]e
[Am]from their cages,
[F]words would fill the [Fm]air[F]
[C][G][D][G][C][Am]
Goodbye Chapel [Em]Street,
I'll [Am]remember you from seventy -nine
[Em]Spaced by th[Am]e sea,
a couch [Em]of dreams,
[Am]caught by the painted line
[Em][Am][Em][F]
[C]Doctor said it was can[F]cer,[C][F]
[C]an d they just [G]said it was [D]time[G]
[C]Time for a grace[G]ful exit,
I'm told in [C]the letters last [G]night
The [C]season of darkness [G]is changing,
to the [C]season that we both have [G]been
[C]Waiting[G] for a new creation
