[B] [A] like [B] our [A] endless numbered [D] days.
[A] [B] [A] Autumn blew [E] the quilt [B] right off [D] the perfect bed she [E] made,.
[D] And she's chosen [F#m] to [E] believe [A] in the [B] [A] hymns her mother [D] sings.
[A] [B] [A] Sunday [E] causes children from [D] their piles of [F#m] fallen [E] leaves.

[A] Winter [E] tugs her children in [D] her fragile china [E] .

[D] But my hands remember [E] her, [A] rolling round the shade [D] of her.
.
[A] Naked [E] arms are secrets still, [D] like songs I never [E] learned.
[D] There are names across [E] the sea, [A] only now I do [D] believe.

[A] Sometimes we hear [E] the windows close, [D] she'll sit and think [E] of [A] me.
[E] [D] Wash them in this tattered [E] clothes, [A] and they'll kiss us if they [D] know.

[A] Baby sleeps [E] in all our bones, [D] so scared to be [E] alone.
