I remember the day the Tennessee flood, the sound of the scream and the sight of the blood.
My son he saw as the animal died, and the [C] jaws of the dog as the river ran by, [C] he said,
come back.
It's there on the page of the book that I read, the boy grew up and the yearling was dead.
He stood at the gate with the angel on guard and wept to the death of his little boy heart,
he said, come [G] back [C] soon, [Am] come [G] [C] back soon.
[G] Then we awaken the night and the [C] womb of the world, we [G] beat our fists on the [C] door,
[G] can't breathe in the [C] sea that swirls, we crawl in this great darkness.
[Em] Poor [C] deliverance, deliverance, oh lord.
So I sit on the bench at the bend in the trail, and I can feel in the fall the final exhale.
The trees of the field all wring their hands and leaves go by like a funeral band,
[Am] they say, come [G] back soon, come [F] back [Am] soon.
[D]
[Am] Then we
[C] [G] awaken the night and the womb of [C] the world, we beat our fists on the door,
[G] can't breathe [Am] in the sea [F] that swirls, [Am] we crawl in this [C] great darkness.
Are we alone in this great darkness?
[G]
[C]
[G] [Am]
[C] If nature's red in tooth and in claw, seems to me that she's an outlaw.
Cause every death is [G] a question mark at [C] the end of the book of a beating heart,
and [Am] the answer's scrawled in [G] the silent dark, in [C] the dome of the sky and a billion stars.
[Am] But we cannot breathe, [G] these angel [C] tongues, we cannot stare at the burning sun,
[Am] and we cannot [G] breathe in these broken lungs, [C] so we kick it all when we beg to be born.
Deliverance, [Am] oh [C] deliverance, oh lord.
Deliverance, oh [G] deliverance, oh [C] lord.
