Ain’t it funny
The things we remember
The ones we imagine
And those we choose to forget
She was fourteen
When she was born
Yeah, she must have been
There’s too much space before
Bbmin Db/F Gb Ab
Only stories
Her siblings told
When she used to talk to them
Before the truth took hold with
Bbmin Faug/A Db/Ab Eb
More than I could ever tell
We were a sweet thing
In the first place
Before I could pronounce her name
Or recognize her sad face
Then her depth grew
Her dark beauty too
A blue moonlight
On a shipwreck
Off of Gaspesie
More than I could ever tell
Bbmin Db/F Gb Ab
It’s a retroactive romance when you’re a sucker for broken hearts
See I’m in love with new beginnings so I put an end to things I start
I’d been hypnotized by her pathos
As she dangled like a pocket watch
She had everything I wanted
But it was everything I got
She danced like a moth in mid-October
While I glowed like a wood-smoke cabin
And spoke of cornucopias, a warmth and the fantasy of home
But I couldn’t house her urgent wings
Barred her scars and frequent faltering
At the start those sparks were reeling
My breath stealing
Bbmin Ab7/C Db Eb
But now I write from the ghost of a feeling
In dark appealing for art to heal me
I’m smarter than that
I don’t pray but I’m kneeling
Revealing stark weakness
Crude heart I’m concealing
You reap what you sow
See love grows but lies rot
And I wish I could be an honest man
But I’m not
More than I could ever tell

Her face has now departed
To southern skies she’s cast her eyes
And left me where I started
Broken hearted
Shades of grey grow darker
The memories evoke the dreams
As the air turns sharper
Days are slowly folding
Diminishing steadily
The empty space I’m holding onto
What we’ve grown we’ll gather
Row by row
D Bmin C
Reap the seeds we scattered long ago
D C G
Imperceptible
D C
And yet inevitable
Seems like a moment ago her light was lingering
Now she’s turned on her side leaving me out in the rain
I reflected her mood like the moon
But like her love the sun’s begun to wane
A precipitous fall, heeding gravity’s call
It’s almost all I can take but why deny it in vain
Every season will end and every flower bend
The irrefutable ache will surely crumble and mend
(Chorus)

What if the clothes came off our lovers
And we could not see beyond their skin
What if the space between the covers
Is not the best place to begin
What if you taste the changing weather
Leaves a coldness on your tongue
What if we thought that we were clever
But we were just children on the run
G7 F6 G7 D
Take this time to sit with me
Let’s crack this wine and make believe
Even if it’s just to be polite
G7 E7 Ebmaj7 D
If I don’t know who you are tomorrow
Then at least I’ll know tonight
What if our nights are glowing embers
That cannot be fed by lonely fear
What if the skin that we had rendered
Left only sparks that weren’t sincere
(Chorus)
D G
If I can’t find the sun then I’ll walk all night
Said the summer is done but I can still love the moonlight
So I take my leave and I set my course
I sang my verse but I forgot the chorus
Sometimes I think that it came too soon
Said the end of an era took the space of an afternoon
I swear to you now that she’s got the same eyes
May not know her tomorrow but at least I’ll know her tonight
Bb C D
I’ll know her tonight
