Cosmia

When you ate i saw your eyelashes
Saw them shake like wind on rushes
In the corn field when she called me
Moths surround me
Thought they'd drown me
And i miss your precious heart
And i miss your precious heart
Dry rose petals, red round circles
Frame your eyes, and stain your knuckles
Dry rose petals, red round circles
Frame your eyes, and stain your knuckles
And all those lonely nights down by the river
Em D X
Brought me bread and water, water in
But though i tried so hard my little darling
I couldn't keep the night from comin' in
And all those lonely nights down by the river
Brought me bread and water, kith and kin
But in the quiet hour when i am sleepin'
I couldn't keep the night from comin' in
(Instrumental)
Bm A# Bm A#....
Why you gone away
Gone away again
I'll sleep through the rest of the day
If you're gone away again
I'll sleep through the rest of the day
Sleep through the rest of the day
Sleep through the rest of the day
Why've you gone
away, away
Seven suns, seven suns
Away, away, away, away
Can you hear me, will you listen
Don't come near me, don't go missin'
In the lissome light of evenin'
Help me cosmia, i'm grievin'
And all those lonely nights down by the river
Em D X
Brought me bread and water, water in
But though i tried so hard my little darling
I couldn't keep the night from comin' in
And all those lonely nights down by the river
Brought me bread and water, kith and kin
But in the quiet hour when i am sleepin'
I couldn't keep the night from comin' in
Bm G Bm G (faster)
Beneath the porch light we've all been circlin'
Beat our duck's hearts, singe our flower wings
But in the corner, somethin's happenin'
Wild cosmia - what have you seen?
Water Were your limbs, and the fire was your hair
And in the moonlight caught your eye
And you rose through the air
Well if you seen true light, then this is my prayer,
Will you call me when you get there?
And i miss your precious heart
And miss x7
And miss your heart
But release your precious heart
To its feast, for precious heart
Dum Dum...........
Well, there you go, I took me the whole night, so I hope you like it!
