[Verse]
D#m G# G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
Finding fossils on the hillside
D#m G# G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
While the sun strikes him down to his knees

Where his great grandfather’s sweat Swallowed up left for dust
[Verse]
D#m G# G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
Just to escape push the pain to right

Sketches a wave in the soil
B/F# F# E
One drop on his dry, dry lips
F# C# B/F# B/F#
Before he goes inflamed and insane
[Chorus]

Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea

While the moon stems the tide in his heart
[Verse]
D#m G# G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
Cast iron and recall
D#m G# G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
The ore pouring deep in the vein
B B F# E
As the years of searing heat, ‘till all is just salt

That is left in the bed where he sleeps

Dreams about drowning, While the moon looks away

History unheard, silent like the waves

While the moon lays out a bed, Of bones to call home
