Noni's Field
Fm
When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
G#
We were lying on our backs.
Fm
I dreamt that the ground split a seam,
G#
Our spirits, floating.
C#maj7
When no longer tied into our bodies,
G#
We left them wrapping as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
C#maj7 G#
Tired and ready to go.
G#
But I don't know what goes on.
D#7
I touched my grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket.
He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it.
Fm
They had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
A#7 C#maj7
His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
G#
I could never put my hands back to them.
G#
Still, I don t know what goes on.
D#7
Will my thoughts burn in unseen patterns, form a dim glow in your mind
Long after you remember who it was that I looked like?
Fm A#7 C#maj7 G#
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Fm G#
We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
Fm Cm/D# C#maj7
An accidental constellation.
A#7 C#maj7 G#
You, how will you go?
Fm A#7
Out through your mouth in a sigh?
C#maj7 G#
Into a space we don't know.
Fm A#7 C#maj7 A#7 C#maj7
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
G#
