G When we met
It was in the C hot green F jungle C
G Your perfect flesh
Impervious to C anything F fungal C
G You would sweat Am coconut milk and
F I’d lie awake
C restless with the heat during the Am night A7-4

G# Dawn would C come G and I would start
to Am feel my own sunrise
G# But you’d just C lie, F sleeping F C

G And so we went
Away in search of C gentler F breezes C
G When we arrived
I longed to lie and C rustle in your F grasses C
G But you would not per-Am mit me to retire there
F None but a fly
Might C settle on the G/B meadow of your Am leg A7-4

G# Dawn would C come G and I would start
to Am feel my own sunrise
G# But you’d just C lie, F sleeping

Instr. Bb F Gm Eb F

G Then we moved on
Until we reached the C tundra in the F winter C
G Of course I longed
To kiss her frosty C teeth in the F cold air C
G But now I’ve grown Am bloated on seal fat
F Not even flies
Will C settle on the G/B meadow of her Am leg A7-4

G# Dawn would C come G and I would start
to Am feel my own sunrise
G# But you’d just C lie, F sleeping
G# But you’d just C lie, F sleeping
