C Bb C
And what do you remember most?
Gm F Dm Eb
The line of the sea, seceding the coast?
Fm Eb Bb Ab
Fine capillaries, glowing with cars?
F Eb Bb F
The comfort you drew from the light of the stars?
C Bb C
And how long did you climb that night,
Gm F Dm Eb
with the ice in your lungs, on the rungs of the light?
Fm Eb Bb Ab
Beyond recall, you severed all strings
F Eb Bb F
to everyone, and everything.
Cm Fm Cm
Oh, silent, constant driver of mine:
Bb C Eb Bb
wordlessly calling from the end of the line,
Eb Gm Ab F
where, even though each hour I ever loved must queue and dive, still,
Cm Bb Ab Cm
you will not take my heart alive.
C Bb C
In martial wind, and in clarion rain,
Gm F Dm Eb
we minced into battle, wincing in pain;
Fm Eb Bb Ab
not meant for walking, backs bound in twine:
F Eb Bb F
not angel or devil, but level, in time.
C Bb C
And I rose, to take my shape at last,
Gm F Dm Eb
from the dreams that had dogged me, through every past,
Fm Eb Bb Ab
when, to my soul, the body would say
F Eb Bb F
You may do what you like, as long as you stay.
Cm Fm Cm
Now the towns and forests, highways and plains,
Bb C Eb Bb
fall back in circles like an emptying drain.
Eb Gm Ab F
And I won't come round this way again, where the lonely wind abides,
Cm Bb Ab Cm
and you will not take my heart, alive.
