Noni's Field
C#m
When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
E
We were lying on our backs.
C#m
I dreamt that the ground split a seam,
E
Our spirits, floating.
Amaj7
When no longer tied into our bodies,
E
We left them wrapping as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
Amaj7 E
Tired and ready to go.
E
But I don't know what goes on.
B7
I touched my grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket.
He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it.
C#m
They had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
F#7 Amaj7
His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
E
I could never put my hands back to them.
E
Still, I don t know what goes on.
B7
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?
C#m F#7 Amaj7 E
Oh Oh Oh Oh
C#m E
We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
C#m G#m/B Amaj7
An accidental constellation.
F#7 Amaj7 E
You, how will you go?
C#m F#7
Out through your mouth in a sigh?
Amaj7 E
Into a space we don't know.
C#m F#7 Amaj7 F#7 Amaj7
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
