Before you turn around and set like the sun

BEFORE YOU TURN AROUND AND SET LIKE THE SUN (2) (E A D G B E capo 2)

Before you turn around and set like the sun. Before you look away and run.

Before you hold yourself like branches on a tree. Before you sink into an empty sea.

 

Before you fly away like magpies in the park. Before you dig a hole and hide.

Before you go so far you feel you can’t return. Before you realise you’ve arrived.

 

Before you roll over and shrink like the moon. Before you sink into the dirt.

Before you let yourself let go and float away. Before the lines show on your face.

 

Before your leaves fall off and melt into the grass. Before the wind blows you away.

Before a hand extends and pats you on the chest. Before you forget what you meant.

 

Before you turn around and set like the sun.
