[Dm]My family does own some land where the river is wide[Bb]

[C]At night I see my memories dimly dying on the other si[Bb]de

[Dm]I know that I am now all bitternes[Bb]s and tart

[C]Anatomy to me is a homesick st[Dm]omach and a broken heart[Bb]


[Dm]You rest-stops in the midnight are like friends I've worn [Bb]to bone

[C]I only notice that you're glowing when I'm feeling s[Bb]o ever alone

[Dm]Drunken with the children now too many times to com[Bb]plain

[C]Trustful was the mouth I turned into a lustful so[Dm]pping hole and

Now it's nothi[Bb]ng but a bathtub drain


[Dm]The latter days are harder than I ever could'[Bb]ve known

[C]Come back to retrieve me sometime soon[Dm]

[Dm]If the latter days are ending then I hope I'm endi[Bb]ng too

[C]And buried someplace where your breath tastes new to me and[Bb]

Always blowing, so my body[Dm]'s bent and bowing

[Bb]Deep into the day's ending in summer[C]

[Bb]The latter days are always panting like [C]a second-comer

[Dm]All the fleshy statues of the city-squar[Bb]e goodbyes

[C]Are flinging smooth-skin trinities and nakedness up into my eyes[Bb]

[Dm]Naked swan-necked girls, your arching[Bb] backs into the sun

[C]The highway ditch's black clouds split the median and[Dm]

Breathing in of all the ribs of every bathing [Bb]one


[Dm]And in those trash-pit-ponds you bathe and

Oh, how[Bb] you all gleam

[C]Mindlessly bright where you're wet in

[Bb]Your eye-lashing, fluid-splashing, rapid-flashing

[Dm]Canal-bleaching dream
For me
