[Dm]
[Bb]
[C]
[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
