Bees And Swans

A Bm C#m D

[Verse 1]
A              Bm
Oh my colossus, I'm blind
C#m        D
But I can see this room so well
A              Bm              C#m
From our youth our fossils I find
            D                  A
Buried in lobbies of macabre hotels
           Bm                  C#m
Press your own foot on my own thigh
          D                        A
I fall in love with everyone I’m told
                    Bm                    C#m
But when everyone I know is always on my mind
                D
I find it's too much to behold

A Bm C#m D (x2)

[Verse 2]
A                Bm             C#m
In a dream of lightness I'm blurring
            D
Your heavy spirit into my spine
A                 Bm
Is it a nightmare of merging
C#m                D                   A
When all of you is me and all of me entwined
                       Bm
I don’t know if it's wrong or better
C#m             D                       A
When what's entwined will unwind and be gone
                          Bm             C#m
I could say goodbye to the Earth in a letter
                 D
But I'm still obsessed with bees and swans

A Bm C#m D (x2)

[Chorus]
A            Bm
Time it is strange and I would
      C#m
Never find it I would
        D
Never wanted it babe
A                Bm
Your timing is strange and I would
       C#m
Never find it I would
      D
Only edit this stage, ooh oh
      A          Bm
Your timing is strange and I would
      C#m
Never find it I would
       D
Never wanted it babe, oh no
      A          Bm
Your timing is strange and I would
       C#m
Never find it I would
      D
Only edit this stage

[Verse 3]
A                Bm
I carried on in another way
C#m       D
Everyone goes
A                         Bm
I made a noise joyfully anyway
C#m          D
Everything knows
A         Bm     C#m
How could I not die every time
    D
I think about the gift that the ancients gave?
A           Bm            C#m
Wild mare, curled hair, unfurled
     D
The time that I'm alive, delighted in the world
A           Bm          C#m
Birthstone, first home, nude skin
   D
An ancient gift to me, the body that I'm in
A         Bm           C#m
Dog bite, searchlight, some day
   D
The mother of the earth tearing me away
A             Bm        C#m
Black cloth, cast off, all worth
     A                                      A
The ancient gift to me back into the earth now
