Biography:
Big Thief is an American indie rock band with folk roots. The band is based in Brooklyn, New York, and comprises Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, Max Oleartchik, and James Krivchenia.
Big Thief's music, rooted in the songs of Adrianne Lenker, paints in vivid tones "the process of harnessing pain, loss, and love, while simultaneously letting go, looking into your own eyes through someone else's, and being okay with the inevitability of death," says Adrianne.

[Verse 1]
D
Burn up with the water
D
The floods are on the plains
D
The planets in a rose
D
Who knows what they contain?
D
And my brain is like an orchestra
D
Playing on, insane
D
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain?
D
[Verse 2]
D
Mom and Dad and violins
G D
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
A
The clothes pins on the floor
D
And my heart is playing hide and seek
G D
Wait and count to four
A G D
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
[Chorus]
G
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
D
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
A
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
D
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
G
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
D
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
G
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
D
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweet asylum
A
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
D
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
G
The marching band
When April ran
D
May June bugs fly and
A
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
G D
Here we go round Mary in your famous story book
[Verse 3]
D
We overcome the sirens
G D
We look both left and right
A
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
D
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
G D
But now you're out of sight
A G D
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night
[Chorus]
G
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
