[Verse 1]
[D]I w[Em]as th[D]inking about the time when[A]
we sat under the [G]trees at the service station
[D]I was blinking in the b[A]right memories
of those [G]mornings of migration
[D]I haven't bee[G]n there for two years
[D]I spent the sum[G]mer on the gro[D]und
I couldn't [G]keep those big ideas
[D]along the tig[G]ht lines of the tow[D]n
And the [Em]starlings went through
[G]everything that [A]I had
Take the [Em]mistle down from [G]the wayside,
take the [D]key down from [A]the wall.
Take the [Em]tower from [G]the hillside,
take the [D]matches from the drawer[A].
And the [Em]low sun on t[G]he hillside
turns [D]all the windows [A]gold
And I'm [Em]walking in frost shad[G]ows,
kicking [D]bottle tops down the [A]road
I was [Em]cutting through the [G]cornfield on
distant [D]mornings scared of [A]snakes
And I [Em]wrote it all in [G]pencil and the
[D]rain washed out the [A]page
The reflec[Em]tions in [G]the water and
the [D]daylight through [A]the leaves
And the [Em]cold air of [G]the autumn
are the [D]things that I [A]believe
And the [G]starlings were so [D]loud that they
drowned out [G]all of my confusion
[D]Like the darkness that you get[A] round
bright lights in [G]black and white television
[D]It was the [G]sound of carbon [D]hand slate
It was the [G]sound of a thousand wind[D]s
Above the [G]concrete and dry clay
[D]And I forget[G] about everything
[D]And the [Em]lightning stood be
[G]side us on [A]the hill
Take the [Em]blankets, take the [G]road maps
Take the [D]apples from [A]the bough
Take the [Em]feeling, you will [G]come back
Lay the [D]rest out on [A]the ground
And the [Em]stars shine in the [G]cold frost
And [D]we are abstract for a while
[A]But the[Em]re's so much that will be [G]lost,
so [D]let's come down from [A]the sky
An[Em]d we'll walk out through the[G] evening,
so we [D]know we are [A]alive
Cause there's [Em]nothing going [G]to keep
us from rolling [D]into that good [A]night
Take the [Em]vessel down, take your [G]memories,
give them [D]to me while you [A]can
Cause there's [Em]nothing you [G]can keep now
It roll[D]s on now, it rolls[A] on[Em][G][D]
you
