[Verse]
D A soft breeze D/C# With the slippery concrete black and full of muddy slush Bm G Contrasting with the hoarfrost, clean and hung D On a tunnel of silent shivering trees D/C# The ones you said you'd like to be Bm G And the birds that screamed at the sun D Now buried deep below the ground D/C# Bm G Beneath the snow, I press my shoulder to this wall between us D D/C# I know you are behind me and I press my shoulder to this wall Bm G Determined not to turn around D I didn't see you standing D/C# Bm Still that statue that I molded in my mind to kiss G So beautiful you'll never move again
[Interlude]
D D/C# Bm G
[Verse]
D Someplace far away D/C# At some sad table littered with chipped plates Bm G With bad light in 48 frames from a movie on the cutting room floor D D/C# You said, "True meaning would be dying with you" Bm G And though I wanted to, I did not smile D D/C# But now I will give up on this wall that I have fought with Bm G Never uncover meaning behind our rich words D D/C# If I could I would make you a raging river Bm G With angry rapids, plied with rain D So you could always meander D/C# Bm G And forever be able to run away D D/C# Without contending Bm G With myths wrongly interpreted D D/C# Bm G With pain D D/C# Bm G A harsh wind
