Em                     C         Em
[tab]       G                          Am       Em
as the air moves thick through the hollow reeds

        Am                      C             Em
will you wait for me there until someone comes

   Am         D       Em
to carry me, carry me down
[Verse 2]
    Em                C        Em
see i have not i have not grown cold

       G                       Am        Em
i have stole from men who have stole from those

            Am                    C           Em
with their arms so thin and their skin so old

            Am              D         Em
but you are young, you are young, you are young
[Bridge]
     Bm                        C       G
then somebody laughs like it’s all just for hell

              Bm                          C       G
as though we could not be saved from the depth of the well

         Am                     C           Em
but the cloth that i make is a cloth you can sell

   C                    D
to pay for the gossamer seed
[Verse 3]
Em                       C      Em
names get carved in the red oak tree

       G                     Am        Em
of the ones who stay and the ones who leave

       Am                            C              Em
i will wait for you there with these cindered bones

   Am        D         Em

Am        D         Em

Am        D         Em
