      [Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
Am      C          Am               C
Folds in the wind; the wake of rock and pen
Am          C  Am                 C
O you mystery: can the mind fit in the brain?

[Hook 1]
    F
The drop of a jaw
    C
The click of a tongue
G               Am
Larynx and lung
   F                                         C Em
To etchings in clay of glyphs and cuneiform;
(x2)

[Verse 2]
F         C           G
Once the "farmer", not the "man-on-the-farm"
    F                                            C G
Our ziggurat bricks all baked up from the ground

F            C             G                C                         F
But that day she fell like cold water on my comfortably ignorant skin
               C                 G
I knew our life defined our words unalike…

F                    G               C
When I woke, we were smoke on a tight rope afloat on the notion:
Am                 F                               C  Em
"if all of this is arbitrary, why does it happen at all?"
F                      C                G
And it's been years of my trying to make sense of one week
(Drop of the jaw, the click of the tongue, larnyx and lung)
Am                    F                                                             C Em
I didn't know it then, but that verse she penned--I found in her log--would ruin me:
                  (To etchings in clay of glyphs and cuneiform)

[Verse 3]
F    C         G           C
"O dear heart, locked away
F                          C         G
Given but description of a window to light your way
F                      G              C
Would dare thee bell, a song to sing?
     F                C
Take care, the way out is more damaging."

[Hook 2]
G                            Dm
One says a word, one in turn interprets it
D                                       G
But when unique things use generic means…is anything ever being said?
G                            Am
One says a word, one in turn interprets it
Dm                     D                G
But when unique things use generic means

[Hook 3]
F         C                Am                                      C
"It's the gaps between the waves that make the tones we hear realizable.
F         C                Am
"It's the gaps between...
F         C                Am                                      Dm
"It's the gaps between the waves that make the tones we hear realizable.
F         Am         C         Am          Bm
Still every crest is aching to shake to be as one!
