Noni's Field
Dm
When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
F
We were lying on our backs.
Dm
I dreamt that the ground split a seam,
F
Our spirits, floating.
A#maj7
When no longer tied into our bodies,
F
We left them wrapping as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
A#maj7 F
Tired and ready to go.
F
But I don't know what goes on.
C7
I touched my grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket.
He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it.
Dm
They had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
G7 A#maj7
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.
C7
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?
Dm G7 A#maj7 F
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Dm F
We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
Dm Am/C A#maj7
An accidental constellation.
G7 A#maj7 F
You, how will you go?
Dm G7
Out through your mouth in a sigh?
A#maj7 F
Into a space we don't know.
Dm G7 A#maj7 G7 A#maj7
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
F
