[Verse 1]
FBurn up with the water
FThe floods are on the plains
FThe planets in a rose
FWho knows what they contain?
FAnd my brain is like an orchestra
FPlaying on, insane
FWill you love me like you loved me in the January rain?
[Verse 2]
FMom and Dad and violins
BbSomber countryF silence
The needle stopped the kicking
The cClothes pins on the floor
And myF heart is playing hide and seek
BbWait and count to Ffour
Will you Clove me like you loved me and I'll Bbnever ask for mFore
F F F
[Chorus]
BbWhat did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
FFull of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh and, Cheavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your Fhands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
BbMonastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
FDiamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
BbWith our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
FFull of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweet asylum
The Cclay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
The Fsugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The Bbmarching band
When April ran
May FJune bugs fly and
Push youCr gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
BbHere we go round Mary in your Ffamous story book
[Verse 3]
FWe overcome the sirens
We Bblook both left andF right
And I can feel the numbness acCcompany my plight
And I Fknow that someday soon I'll see you
But Bbnow you're out of sFight
And you'll kCiss me like you used to in the BbJanuaryF night
