Noni's Field
F#m
When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
A
We were lying on our backs.
F#m
I dreamt that the ground split a seam,
A
Our spirits, floating.
Dmaj7
When no longer tied into our bodies,
A
We left them wrapping as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
Dmaj7 A
Tired and ready to go.
A
But I don't know what goes on.
E7
I touched my grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket.
He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it.
F#m
They had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
B7 Dmaj7
His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
A
I could never put my hands back to them.
A
Still, I don t know what goes on.
E7
Will my thoughts burn in unseen patterns, form a dim glow in your mind
Long after you remember who it was that I looked like?
F#m B7 Dmaj7 A
Oh Oh Oh Oh
F#m A
We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
F#m C#m/E Dmaj7
An accidental constellation.
B7 Dmaj7 A
You, how will you go?
F#m B7
Out through your mouth in a sigh?
Dmaj7 A
Into a space we don't know.
F#m B7 Dmaj7 B7 Dmaj7
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
