So the fields are stubble, the garden is done where

the scary scarecrow stands and sees her holding up horizons with her hands.

E A
She's so tired of reading Daddy's lips - -that essay
Bm
on a frown. Watch her memories of human voices drown.
Chorus:
E A
C#/A Bm E A
Let horsey bray break between the thunder boom. Make
C#/A Bm E A
grasses' swish meet the cricket's ring.
C#/A Bm E A
Let every sound consecrate our whispering words that
E
Betta never heard.
Solo played over:
E A Bm
Verse:

So The backlanes tie the city down; a mess of dirty

string. Winter dies the same way every spring.

E A
As the sky tries on its uniform of turned off t.v.
Bm
grey, and the way we watched her watch us walks away,
Chorus:
E A
C#/A Bm E A
let every rain clatter down at groaning streets. Make
C#/A Bm E A
footsteps tick, talk to echoed walls.
C#/A Bm E A
Let every sound consecrate our whispering the words
that Betta never heard.
Whurlitzer and whirly-wind and guitar Solos played over:

Chorus:
A
C#/A Bm E A
Let every wind howl and creak the creaking doors to
C#/A Bm E A
rooms that too much has happened in.

Let every sound consecrate our whispering the words
that Betta never heard.
