Verse
C#
Burn up with the water
C#
The floods are on the plains
C#
The planets in a rose
C#
Who knows what they contain?
C#
And my brain is like an orchestra
C#
Playing on, insane
C#
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain?
C#
[Verse 2]
C#
Mom and Dad and violins
Gb C#
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
G#
The clothes pins on the floor
C#
And my heart is playing hide and seek
Gb C#
Wait and count to four
G# Gb C#
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
[Chorus]
Gb
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
C#
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
G#
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
C#
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
Gb
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
C#
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
Gb
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
C#
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweet asylum
G#
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
C#
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
Gb
The marching band
When April ran
C#
May June bugs fly and
G#
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Gb C#
Here we go round Mary in your famous story book
[Verse 3]
C#
We overcome the sirens
Gb C#
We look both left and right
G#
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
C#
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
Gb C#
But now you're out of sight
G# Gb C#
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night
[Chorus]
Gb
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
C#
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time

Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery

Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
