Arienette

C#m The fragile keep secrets gathered in pockets G# And they'll sell them for nothing, a cheap watch or locket E C#m That kind of gold washes off C#m And the sad look like lepers, on stretchers in shadows G# They want to ring bells of warning to tell of their coming E C#m So that the pure can shut their doors C#m And the angry are animals, all senseless and savage G# They act without order, in logical lapses E C#m They stain their mouths with blood F#m C#m So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight F#m C#m Oh, the corn has grown stalks that form a wall F#m C#m The wind carries sounds that I can't see from beyond that line B A G# Then the stalks begin to sway C#m B A G# Oh, stay with me, Arienette C#m Until the wolves are away AGCAG# C#m Well the wicked are vultures, they bake in the canyons G# They'll circle in sunlight and wait for their victims E C#m To collapse and call to them (I'm over here, I'm over here) C#m And the desperate are water, they'll just keep running forever G# And soak into silence and lay down together E C#m In a dark and distant, deep dark and distant place F#m C#m So don't leave me here with only mirrors watching me F#m C#m This house, it is nothing now but a memory F#m C#m And the moon, she leaves me silver but never never sleep B A G# And then the silver turns to gray C#m B A G# So stay with me, Arienette C#m Until the wolves are away
