Mary Black - Cut by wire

The letter stopped in a ^Dmminor key ^F A Christmas card that you ^Gdrew for me ^C Done by the hand^F that I knew so ^Cwell ^Dm Disguised the message that you^G could not ^Ftell ^{G C}

I see you bent above your ^Dmpotter's wheel ^F The piece you're throwing, is the ^Gpiece you feel ^C The softest colour^F and an eye so ^Ctrue ^Dm For cups and bowls^G that are shaped like ^Cyou

You work in porcelain ^Fcut by wire ^Dm And now as ever, lovers ^Gwalk through fire ^C When we were breaking,^F we made n^Co sound ^Dm The pieces almost touching^G on the ^Fground ^{Dm7 G C}

And now your silence says, there's ^Dmsomeone there ^F She stands behind you as she ^Gstrokes your hair ^C How does she hold you, like a ^Flong lost ^Cfriend? ^Dm Or are you like me, on your ^Gown a^Cgain?

And so I write you in a ^Dmminor key ^F Wondering if there's something ^Gleft for me ^C I'm only writing so^F that I can ^Csleep ^Dm I never found another^G love as ^Fdeep ^C

You work in porcelain ^Fcut by wire ^Dm And now as ever, lovers ^Gwalk through fire ^C When we were breaking,^F we made n^Co sound ^Dm The pieces almost touching^G on the ^Fground ^C
