F
Now that I’m alone I feel the lonely brokeness
C
Of all the wicked avenues I’ve ever sold my love on
Dm
All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided
C
In the outright abandon of this orphan child
F
Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace
C
I guess I’m waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse
Dm
And to wake up half empty
C
Only to be filled again with mourning
F
He’s my evil shadow dove
C
My black Palamito Can’t break him like a diamond skull
Dm
I can’t seem to do so Can’t just rob him out like the
C
mob used to do so Like memories of porno and tearstains
F
and tobacco O its a miny disastro
C
Bigger than the ice age don’t know if baby dinosaurs
Dm
Maybe could live through it, or indians and butterflies
C
What’s crushed is my spirit, O I fear it is too fragile
Like fall leaves burn like paper
F C
I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone
Dm
No one would understand me
C
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals
F C
Spend all my time amongst the animals
Dm C
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals
F
Oh I’m just a fill leaf something simple and shy like that
C
That’s how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk
Dm
Like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons
C
I sit and entertain the bizarre ghosts of my soul
F
His name still lingers maybe lactates on my tongue
C
Perhaps I’m just teel him for a foreign fallen destiny
Dm C
Miserable but mine I look like his mother
F
Or Sophia Loren in a old fashioned movie
C
Slow motion motion I cling to my child desperate for love
Dm C
On day soon my brother died made me remember all the
Subordinate feelings I cast aside
F
Maybe I had lied when I said I was ok
C
Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say
Dm
“Wild willow, windy winter won’t you blow through me
C
My who eternity”
F C
I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone
Dm
No one would understand me
C
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals
F C
Spend all my time amongst the animals
Dm C
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals
