Driven through by her own sword
C Em G F
Summer died last night, alone
Em G F Am
Even the ghosts huddled up for warmth
C Em G F
Autumn has come to my hometown
C Em F
Friendly voices, dead and gone
C Em G F
Singing, Star of the country down
Em G F Am
(Even the ghosts help raise the barn
C Em G F
Here now in my hometown)
D
When out of the massing
C G F A D
that bodes and bides, In the cold West
C G F A D
Flew a waxwing who froze and died against my breast
D C G F A D
And all the while, rain, like a weed in the tide, swans and lisps
C G F A D
Down on the gossiping lawns, saying, "tsk, tsk, tsk"
C Em
I may have changed
G F
It's hard to gauge
C Em G F
Time won't account for how I've aged
Em G F Am
Would I could tie your lying tongue
C Em G F
Who says that leaving keeps you young
C Em G F
And I have got no control
C Em G F
Over my heart, over my mind
Em G F Am
Over the hills, the rainclouds roll
C Em G F
I'll winter here, wait for a sign
D C G
To cast myself out over the water
F A D
Riven like a wishbone
You'd hardly guess
D C G
I was my own mother's daughter
F A D
I ain't naturally given to roam.
D C
And I lay low when I return
G F A D
And I move like a gurney whose wheels are squeaking
D C
Alone in a home
G
And I laugh when you speak
F A D
Of my pleasure-seekin'
C G F G
Among the ta - ll pines
D C G F
Along the le-y lines
C G F G
Here, where the lo-on keens.
D C G F
There, where the mo-on leans
C G F G
There, where I know my violent love lays
D C G F A D
down, in a row of silent dove-grey days
C G F G
Here in a row of silent dove-grey days
C Em G F
Wherever I go, I am snow-bound
C Em G F
By thoughts of him whom I would shun
Em G F Am
I love them all, one by one
C Em
Cannot gain ground
G F
Cannot outrun
C Em G F
But time marches along
C Em G F
You can't always stick around
Em G F Am
But when the final count is done
C Em G F
I will be in my hometown
C G F C
I will be in my hometown
