Our dream daughter
C#
Candle on the altar
A#m A#m/G# D#7/G C# G#
Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right

You grew taller

Taller than I am

In white light from her breast, I touched your hand

Who are you?

Who would you have been?

Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 2]
G#
One wing open
C#
I took off in slow motion
A#m A#m/G# D#7/G C# G#
Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb
G#
The clouds broke

Well, heaven took my throat
A#m A#m/G# D#7/G C# G#
With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die

Just cold water

The shadow's getting longer

Though bright nights, hold my breath, silver on the right

I took all the blankets
C#
And slept out in the yard

Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars
[Chorus]

Who are you?

Who would you have been?

Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
