a cold December morning woke me from the window so I rose to see the frozen glow
C# G# C# G#
I could see you standing outside with Rufus at your heels
C# Cm G# A#m Fm A# G#
staring at the dawn light falling pink upon the snowy fields
Fm G#
and I remember what you said
C# Cm Fm G# D#
comforts the first thing we forget once the light of day has passed
C# G#
You said we've come to love the oak grove
C# Cm A#m Fm A# G#
because the oaks are what we know and when we watched their growth we watch our own
C# G# C# G#
when I close my eye lids deep into the night
C# Cm G# A#m Fm D# G#
I still can see the shape of light that shown around you all my life
Fm G#
like when the co-o-old autumn rain
Fm Cm
so-o-oaked our skin for days
A#m G# D#
you walked us out into the ominous graves
A#m Fm C# Cm
to baaaaaptize our young eyes so we know that we make little ourselves
Fm A#m Fm C# Cm
though tiiiiiiired and freezing and the photo we remember it well
A#m Fm D# G#
though the pressure makes our bodies ache
A#m Fm Cm C
when the darkness swallows up the day
A#m Fm G#
our tiny mouths have only thanks to say
