[G][Am][G][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]To Thrum a Glassy [G]Stem
[Dm]On f[G]ragmenting taffeta m[Am]irrors
Manacled to an earthen [G]house
Over [Dm]two bending k[G]nees an [Am]iron c[F]ha[Am]in
[Dm]Beetle, bone[G] and s[Dm]tone[Am][F][Am]
[G]Pine for a [F]love unknown
[Am]Thou[Dm]gh[F][Am]
[G]winged [Am]soporific dreams
Lay [G]sprawled, [F]waiting expans[Am]ive

[Verse 2]
[D]This [Dm]my prom[G]ise Blue[Am]
The [G]thought and its
[Am]mandrel motion[F][Am]
[G]This my [Dm]promise [Am]scarlet
The [G]blush of a [F]ripene[Dm] d Fr[F]uit

[Verse 3]
Lay [Am]long in [G]sanguine laughter
A [Dm]bed [G]the soft of [Am]heather
Stashed in the branches [G]breach
[Dm]Words to t[G]hin cracked [Am]leaves
Like the [Dm]folds of [G]an angels [Am]wing
Or the [G]crack in a [F]devils [Am]smile
[G]Poetry for kin and [Am]fey
Or the [G]unsuspect[F]ing [Am]seeker

[Verse 4]
[Dm]This my [G]promise [Am]green[F][Am]
The [G]lilt in [Am]a voice [F]that's lau[Am]ghing
[G]This my prom[Dm]ise [Am]gold
[G]To sup with [F]empty cup
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[D]The pearl that con[G]tains [Am]all pearls
The [G]piece that [F]evinces [Am]the puzzle
On [G]pealing [Am]taffeta mirrors
[G]To thrum a [F]glassy stem
[Am]
