Noni's Field
D#m
When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
F#
We were lying on our backs.
D#m
I dreamt that the ground split a seam,
F#
Our spirits, floating.
Bmaj7
When no longer tied into our bodies,
F#
We left them wrapping as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
Bmaj7 F#
Tired and ready to go.
F#
But I don't know what goes on.
C#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.
D#m
They had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
G#7 Bmaj7
His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
F#
I could never put my hands back to them.
F#
Still, I don t know what goes on.
C#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?
D#m G#7 Bmaj7 F#
Oh Oh Oh Oh
D#m F#
We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
D#m A#m/C# Bmaj7
An accidental constellation.
G#7 Bmaj7 F#
You, how will you go?
D#m G#7
Out through your mouth in a sigh?
Bmaj7 F#
Into a space we don't know.
D#m G#7 Bmaj7 G#7 Bmaj7
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
