Am7 F
There's a river that parts the valley of this town
Am7 F
Following the road up to your father's farm
Am7 F
Your rosy lungs were empty on the day that you were born
Am7 F
And no one thought you'd make it past the morning
-----
Dm F
Ho...........Hum

Am7
Your brother said your mother
F
Was a firefly you buried in the earth
Am7
And every night, the fire light
F
Warms the tender bits of skin beneath your shirt
Am7 F
The climbing constellations move in semi-tones
Am7 F
And set behind the county line in a melody of gravitation

Am7 C7 C7 C6 C6 F F
Calling on the colours of the road!
Am7 C7 C7 C6 C6 F F
Sleep amongst the mango trees and poison toads
Am7 C7 C7 C6 C6 F F
A flood for every footprint, and every mile you forgot
Am7 C7 C7 C6 C6 F F
Though your hands were little, they always gave a lot
-----
Dm F
Hold your breath...
Dm F
Hold your breath...
Dm F
Hold your breath...

Hold your breath...

(x2)
-----
F G
The sanctity of soil
F G
Wandering roots and living oils
F G
Reunions underground
F G
Sunlight surfacing, and all around, mountains like diaphragms...
F
The rhythm of a landscape that is breathing
-----
G (repeat until end)
