A# G# D#
[Verse]
D#
Through the gardens and fields ‘neath the tall green grass
D#/D Cm
You were walking ‘neath the moon while covering your tracks
G# D#
Working your fingers down to the skin and stone
[Chorus]
Cm G7 G# D#
One hand on the hammer, one foot by the door
Cm G7 G# D# A#
Pushed by the wind, fed by the need for moving on,
G# D#
Moving on to nowhere
[Verse]
D#
When division runs deep and down into the well
Cm
All the coins you dove after lost all their spell
G# D#
Covered in moss walking for silver and blood
[Chorus]
Cm G7 G# D#
Out in the cafe, working in the grove
Cm G7 G# D#
Guarding the port of the future you sold
A# G# D#
Holding on, holding on to no one
A# G# D#
Holding on, holding on to no one
[Chorus]
Cm G7 G# D#
One eye in the mirror, the other on the screen
Cm G7 G# D#
Sewn in the pockets and down into the dream
Cm G7 G# D#
Caught up in the mortar, bricks and heavy load
Cm G7 G# D#
Wait in the shadows down the living road
A# G# D#
Moving on, moving on to no one
A# G# D#
Holding on, holding on to no one

There's a piano playing on the ocean floor
D# G# Gm7
between Havana and New Orleans
Cm Fm
Drummin' a requiem for the dead
D# G# Gm7
and the souls hanging on every poet's prayer
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
Running to the rock, running to the sea

Prayin' to the Lord , please shelter me

water is boiling on fire

Blood pulsing through their veins

Luis drivin' a '59

Stranded on the rock, stranded on the sea
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
There's a wall in the ocean between you and me
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
Dreams of reaching dry land,
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
talking to the fortune teller
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
Prisoners pounding the jail
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
like the waves crashing on the Malecón wall
[Bridge]
Cm
Someone lost an eye,
Cm
someone lost the truth
Cm
Trying to save face,

oh 'neath the eyes of the Virgin el Cobre

Shout me a line sister, shout me a line sister

Oh I see your hands in the air, see you drowning on the other side side

"Chief's in the parish and the drummers in the square
Cm Fm
Walkin' across the fire, walkin' across the waves"
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
Sinner in the rock, sinner in the sea
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
There's a sunken bridge 'tween you and me
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
Running past the embassy gates,
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
and the Santería shrine
Fm D# Gm7 Cm
Blood pulsing thru their veins
Fm D# Gm7
like the waves they remember
Gm7 Cm
Crashing on the Malecón wall

Album : Algiers (2012)
Tempo :
The winter is cold
But not as cold as a hand
Covering your heart
The moon is dead
Like the light in your eyes
Fading and gone
Cast out over the hills
Wandering forest and field
Still no resolve when sorrow calls
And silently takes you from here
April showers
Held up inside
For weeks on end
The moon is empty
Memories have all
Passed you on by
Medicine is slowly running out
Your breath is shallow and frail
The doctor arrives
Closes your eyes
Places two pennies in their place

Dig my hands into the dirt
Ghost of a riverbed
Find a timepiece from
The water commissioner
In a whole town washed up and dead
Climbing in a crawlspace
Climb to survive
Climbing into our vehicles
Through the tunnel to the other side
I remember when we'd stand
With our feet at the river's edge
Wondering where the current
Would take us if we leapt
I remember when we'd stand
With our feet at the water's edge
Wondering where the current
Would take us if we leapt
Now I can't stop thinking
About how she used to smile
Standing by that tree
Near the ghost of the river
And where we said our last goodbye
Our last goodbye
Our last goodbye
