Noni's Field
Cm
When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
D#
We were lying on our backs.
Cm
I dreamt that the ground split a seam,
D#
Our spirits, floating.
G#maj7
When no longer tied into our bodies,
D#
We left them wrapping as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
G#maj7 D#
Tired and ready to go.
D#
But I don't know what goes on.
A#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.
Cm
They had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
F7 G#maj7
His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
D#
I could never put my hands back to them.
D#
Still, I don t know what goes on.
A#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?
Cm F7 G#maj7 D#
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Cm D#
We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
Cm Gm/A# G#maj7
An accidental constellation.
F7 G#maj7 D#
You, how will you go?
Cm F7
Out through your mouth in a sigh?
G#maj7 D#
Into a space we don't know.
Cm F7 G#maj7 F7 G#maj7
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
