Noni's Field
When I closed my [Em]eyes in Noni's field
We were lying on our [G]backs.
I dreamt that the [Em]ground split a seam,
Our spirits, fl[G]oating.
When no longer [Cmaj7]tied into our bodies,
We left them wrapping [G]as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
Tir[Cmaj7]ed and ready to go.[G]
But [G]I don't know what goes on.
I touched my [D7]grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket.
He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it.
They had [Em]posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
His cheeks washed like watercolor [A7]sunlight, [Cmaj7]evening time.
I could never put my hands [G]back to them.
[G]Still, I don t know what goes on.
Will my thoughts [D7]burn in unseen patterns, form a dim glow in your mind
Long after you remember who it was that I looked like?
[Em]Oh Oh [A7]Oh [Cmaj7]Oh[G]
We saw the [Em]sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies [G]made.
An [Em]accidental [Bm/D]constellati[Cmaj7]on.
[A7]You, [Cmaj7]how will you [G]go?
[Em]Out through your mout[A7]h in a sigh?
[Cmaj7]Into a space we d[G]on't know.
[Em]Oh Oh [A7]Oh [Cmaj7]Oh [A7]Oh [Cmaj7]Oh
