C

x2

G

I hear beauty in things Like the neighbors return

D/f#

To their love and pride

Em

Their day like a wicked ride

C

But then to belong And their kids running by Given riddles and tales For their way to be Little buddies, the mystery Of just being around

Am

Em

D/f#

All that I fear is that all that I have given you

G

G7

C

Is a ship out to nowhere that wants to be out of control

Am

Em

D/f#

But I see the light in oh so many things out here

G

C

D/f#

C

G

And a lifetime gently now sits on the stairs to my home

C

G

Am

Em

We're running out, but moving on

C

D/f#

G

Into the days of our grace returning

G

D/f#

Em

C

And the dancer just turns Until they spin fast enough For the biggest show Take some pics of the afterglow Then do it again I see stars in the sky And I wish they'd return To be in me now Make up for what I lack somehow When it's all been too much All that I fear is that all that I have given you Is a ship out to nowhere that wants to be out of control But I see the light in oh so many things out here And a lifetime so gently now sits on the stairs to my home We're running out, but moving on Into the days of our grace returning

Em

D/f#

I'm curly to the bone

G

C

But then you straighten me again

Am

Em

D/f#

I carry you to bed

G

C

Let the hours sweep away

D/f#

Your day has been hard I will whisper to heal And not wake up The listening thoughts in me Their revealing dark poetry and this shadow They sell There is beauty out here Like peculiar running styles Some are wild And the breath on the other side Of getting around All that I fear is that all that I have given you The ship out to nowhere that wants to be out of control But I see the light in oh so many things out here And a lifetime so gently now sits on the stairs to my home We're running out, but moving on Into the days of our grace returning We're running out, but moving on

My body says the water's cold But my mind will have a way to cross it And I know I held the time so dear And the feeling it was here, I lost it My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right Stillness in the ways I try And then you walk on by |

And I ring them so gently

F

G

What if you heard me now, my dear? My body's with the birds in me But my mind is with the times they're leaving I want them but I let them go There's a sparkle in the dust I breathe in My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right Stillness in the ways I try And then you walk on by My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right, oh Stillness in the ways I try As I lean into the morning light It's like my body's in some other town And then you walk on by

Some of your honey in my hand

Time had never been so kind The naked spring, the weightless songs And the memories of being young And the breath of getting out

G/c

And days wanting to stay

G

Within, without

G/c

F

Keep my green eyes open for what I've

G

Been kicking around, oh

Instrumental verse x2

I open up the windows now Let the wind right through my country home Let my notes just fly around Then get some rest upon the lawn Where so many years of leaves did fall Like a bed of all what's been And days wanting to stay Within, without Keep my green eyes open for what I've Been kicking around

Instrumental verse

E

Am

I leave at night before the dreams are in

E

Am

Can't lay and wait for their unravelling

F

G/c

I need my manners, not my weary soul

G7

And there's so much kindness in the world Some of your honey in my hand And a silver dollar in my shoe Time had never been so bold I cut my losses, leave the ground Feel a hum in every wheel I turn And the breath of getting out And days wanting to stay Within, without Keep my green eyes open for what I've Been kicking around, oh

| I have faith in the night That they show me what I need to master I'll be ready, I'm here Since so deep in the doubt, I've seen laughter Why do the hours disappear when I Speak so loving of where I've been?

Why do I always disappear in thought? I'm a captain so mad at sea And this old room is now my ship somehow In here waves crashing over me Waiting for my ghost to return I will dig where I stand Though I'm tired and longing for pleasure Then what comes up to me I will teach them to look like some treasure Why do the hours disappear when I Speak so loving of where I've been? But then just stands right there and look at me When I don't know where to begin Waiting for my ghost to return |
