Jolie Holland - Black stars

Of the shining black^F stars that circle my heart C C/G C C/G C I saw you come in, though it was dim I have been ^Flistening from the beginning

^BbWhen you arrived It was as if we had both died ^FAnd gone somewhere else You and myself ^BbThat otherworldly feeling Came over me stealing ^FMy mind was reeling Blood bleeding C C/G C C/G Red like my guitar C C/G C C/G Whoever you are ^FCold in the night I think you're right C C/G C C/G To whisper and listen C C/G C C/G Like flowers glisten ^FIn a quiet garden ^FThe moon is wizened and it is ^Cold C/G C C/G C C/G C C/G As a toad in a Chinese story

^GThe fallen glory of my ego ^FIs laid at the feet of all our purposes And my ^Cpurpose is to keep on dreaming

^BbI am fishing for wishes That's where^F you come in Though it was dim ^BbWhen you arrived It was as if we had both died ^FAnd gone somewhere else You and myself
