Guard my bed while the rain turns the ditches to mirrors

buy a vase of carnations from central Ohio

Dm
where the looking machine can't hear us

Deep in the night we dream of positions

Dm
there's a line for the phone in the hall

E
and in the cold places where Spanish is spoken

Dm
most wars end in the fall

F                         C   Em   Dm
You never know where your pet will go

C G C G C G Dm
pet politics

Dm
Still wearing last nights' mascara

Dm
now that her pet was gone for sure

E
she was shivering so hard 

Dm
it looked like there were two of her

Dm
I could see through the sleeve of her blouse

Dm
the mute plans of her architect lover

E
a tattoo of a boarded-up house

Dm
and ink door that belonged to another

F                         C    Em  Dm
When the rain hits you it hits you slow

C G C G C G Dm
stitch after stitch
