The Last Few Days

Written February 2015

Tab D, capo 3 (F)

all the words in our language have changed,
every sound we make now comes out strange,
I’ve been trying to be something better than me
++for the last few days..

overnight, someone swapped out the dreams,
left a stone where the gold used to be,
I’ve been trying to pray in my usual way
++for the last few days..

like the sky holds a bird on the wing,
I thought I understood everything,
so I’ve had to unlearn what I knew about birds
++in the last few days..
so I’ve had to unlearn all I knew about birds
++in the last few days…
