Noni's Field
Bm
When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
D
We were lying on our backs.
Bm
I dreamt that the ground split a seam,
D
Our spirits, floating.
Gmaj7
When no longer tied into our bodies,
D
We left them wrapping as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
Gmaj7 D
Tired and ready to go.
D
But I don't know what goes on.
A7
I touched my grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket.
He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it.
Bm
They had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
E7 Gmaj7
His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
D
I could never put my hands back to them.
D
Still, I don t know what goes on.
A7
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?
Bm E7 Gmaj7 D
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Bm D
We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
Bm F#m/A Gmaj7
An accidental constellation.
E7 Gmaj7 D
You, how will you go?
Bm E7
Out through your mouth in a sigh?
Gmaj7 D
Into a space we don't know.
Bm E7 Gmaj7 E7 Gmaj7
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
D
