Em G C
As thEme bell towerG blocks theC summer light
EmAll the sGeeds in our gCarden fight
To bEmreak Dand bClossom, all to Bbe adored
And look, your skCirt is torn
And there's blDood on our sheets
As comes theEm long aGrm oCf the law
EmFist tGight, baCnging on the door
And kEmnockDing mCe down on its wBay in C D
As I pass out into a dream
Of whooping cranes and wooden beams
Great white wings beating
In an attic, in a house, in the dead of night
Singing
COh,D my EmAuguDstiCne, EmAugDustiCne
COhD, is this fEmoreDveCr, EmeveDr?C
COh, Doh
Sweet EmAugDustCine, EmAugDustCine
What dCoes this mDean for us?
Does it mean that I can never change my ways?
And that's why, love, you shouldn't stay
Still you will and love me
Like a mother or a maid bringing you down, down
Down on your brazen knees
Watering the worms and the weeds
Thinking, why does love leave me so damn cold?
Now I'm getting old
And is this what it should be?
Well, is it?
Oh, my Augustine, Augustine.
Oh, is this forever, ever?
Oh, oh
Sweet Augustine, Augustine
Or Cdo we kill thDis one tonGight? C
G C
And now come the EmteaGrs, hCeavy and hot
EmAs it comes cGlear, this is aCll we got
As I hEmold yDou tCo my bed
Like a caBncer, or a cCurse
Now be my loDving nurse
As we fall back iEmnto tDhe impCossible drEmeam
