my dark sea of sleep.

Her eyes swelled up in the bars of soft lights.
D9                         Eb                                                 Bm                                                      Eb  
I drank and watched her laugh and then we sang out loud in the dying streets
D9                      Eb                                      Bm                            Eb  
And I was so drunk my heart floated like a feather in the breeze.
D9                 Eb                                         Bm                                                    Eb  
I got so high off all the blinking lights, the colors painted in the night.

the northern wind will change again and my geography will bend

back and forth across the map until I reach the end.
