JUST SO (E
A D G B E)
When it comes, when it goes. Just so, just so.
When it falls, when it floats. Just so, just so.
Just so, just so. Just so, just so.
Inside, cold night. What is all this?
Reclined, upright. What is all this?
What is all this? What is all this?
Just so, just so. Just so, just so.
Just so, just so.
Every day, the right one. Things as they are.
Every day, a fading sun. Things as they are.
Just so, just so. Things as they are.
Just so, just so. Things as they are.
LEAVES AND FISHES (E G# C# F# B E)
Leaves and fishes.
Fast horses going places.
Moon among stars, ocean of lakes.
Silence of knowledge.
No, I’m not there yet.
From one end to the other.
Rolling gently through turbulent seas.
IT’S PRECIOUS (E G# C# F# B E)
It’s precious. How will you spend it? Every colour in a ball. Just hanging, somehow suspended. From a string around my neck. And I don’t want to wring it out like a towel. All this heaviness just weighs me down. Weighs me down. Every moment, big or small. Just floating over the back fence. On a scale from one to now. And I don’t to wring it out like a towel. All this heaviness just weighs me down. I don’t miss a thing I just close my eyes. And turn my chin towards the sky. I don’t miss a thing I just close my eyes.
I MIGHT BE ALRIGHT TODAY (E
A D G B E)
I might be alright today. I might be alright today.
The sun on a string. It clings to my heart.
I might find a place to rest. I might find a place to rest.
And sit still awhile, while time runs like wind through the trees.
I know I’ll sleep well tonight. I know I’ll sleep well tonight.
LUCKY YOU LOVE ME (E A D G B E)
It’s lucky you love me. I don’t know if anyone else would.
Lucky you found me. I was lost and gone for good.
It’s lucky you love me. I don’t know if anyone else would.
Lucky you found me.
It’s lucky you love me.
And I’ll love you as long as R.A.P. Ferreira raps.
I’ll love you as long as R.A.P. Ferreira raps.
It’s lucky you love me. I don’t know if anyone else would.
It’s lucky you love me. I was lost and gone for good.
It’s lucky you love me.
I don’t know if anyone else would.
And I’ll love you as long as R.A.P. Ferreira raps. I’ll love you as long as R.A.P. Ferreira raps. And I’ll love you as long as R.A.P. Ferreira raps. And I’ll love you as long as R.A.P. Ferreira raps.
It’s lucky you love me.
I CARRY THESE THINGS (E A D G B E)
Never full, never empty. Always looking out for what’s ahead of me.
Never tired, never rested. Always on my way home, always on my way home.
I carry these things in a paper cup. Heaviness falls like a small raindrop. These things in a paper cup. Heaviness falls, heaviness falls.
Never worse, never better. Always on my own, always together.
Never ready, never late. Always right here, always in the right place.
I carry these things in a plastic bag. Heaviness hangs from the roof — look out! It leaks.
But it’s not so bad.
Heaviness falls, heaviness falls.
But it’s not so bad.
Never fine, never broken. Always listening for the words unspoken.
Never argumentative, never agreeable. Always looking out for things unseeable.
We’re always looking out for the things unseeable.
I carry these things around my neck. Easy to forget what you meant to protect. These things around my neck. Heavy, heavy.
These things; heavy, heavy. These things around my neck.
Heavy, heavy.
MY EYES (E A D G B E)
My eyes, my eyes are burning. Looks like the earth is sinking. Feels like my chest is splitting.
I want to dive down so deep I forget what I feel like. Find out what darkness tastes like.
Just taking what we can. You hold my heart in your hands.
Woke up again this morning. I thought it would get better. There’s less than I remember.
My eyes, my eyes keep thinking. Why won’t they mind their business? I’m pressed like petals in an empty book.
Just hanging on to what is left.
Just hanging on to what I am. What I am.
IN THE FADING LIGHT (E A D G B E, capo 1)
Sun up, slow down. Round the corner. Under the roof of a bright sky. Every sound is a whisper.
Sun up, slow down. Watch the wind turn. Over the fence they are singing: la la la la. And so on and so forth.
Pink ladies hanging round waiting for the sun to fall down.
Lady fingers digging holes. Open hands with nothing to hold.
Sun up, slow down. Gimme ten bucks. How can you say it means nothing? How can you sleep when you’re so cold?
Working it out as I’m resting. Learning to swim as I’m drowning. Learning to fly from the ground up.
Getting softer every day. The freezer isn’t far away.
Getting wiser and riper. Who says you hav’ta?
And if I wait long enough. And if I sit still enough. In the fading light. In the fading light. In the fading light.
Sun up, slow down. On a landship. Racing through towns and valleys and oceans and skies so blue.
I’VE GOT GUILT (E A D G B E)
I’ve got guilt; I don’t know what to do with it.
I’ve got time; I’ll just let it sit awhile.
In my dreams I say sorry to everyone.
And I’ve got nights and nights ahead of me.
It’s filling up my head like a flu that I can’t shake. It’s a ringing in my ears that will never go away. It’s a weight around my neck I carry every day.
I’ve got guilt; I don’t know what to do with it.
I’ve got time; I’ll just let it sit awhile.
In my dreams I say sorry to everyone.
And I’ve got nights and nights and nights and nights and nights and nights and nights ahead of me. I’m so guilty.
I’m so guilty.
THE WHISTLING IS THE TREES (E G# C# F# B E)
Come out. Now what?
Are you alone? I’ve found a place to rest.
The wind brings me here. The waves push me home.
The grass picks me up. The stars lay me down.
And I hear the whistling of the trees.
I hear the whisper of the ocean.
The whisper of the ocean.
I hear the whistling of the trees.
