Noni's Field
G#m
When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
B
We were lying on our backs.
G#m
I dreamt that the ground split a seam,
B
Our spirits, floating.
Emaj7
When no longer tied into our bodies,
B
We left them wrapping as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
Emaj7 B
Tired and ready to go.
B
But I don't know what goes on.
F#7
I touched my grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket.
He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it.
G#m
They had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
C#7 Emaj7
His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
B
I could never put my hands back to them.
B
Still, I don t know what goes on.
F#7
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?
G#m C#7 Emaj7 B
Oh Oh Oh Oh
G#m B
We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
G#m D#m/F# Emaj7
An accidental constellation.
C#7 Emaj7 B
You, how will you go?
G#m C#7
Out through your mouth in a sigh?
Emaj7 B
Into a space we don't know.
G#m C#7 Emaj7 C#7 Emaj7
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
