Introdução:
Eb7M Ab7
I am orphaned at the center.
Eb7M Ab7
The bridge yaws side to side
C#6 B7M
ululates beneath my feet.
C#6 B7M
To you fixed in domicile?s unyielding grip,
Fm7 Gm7
it appears I stand upon ribbon candy
Ab7M
little between me and death.
Fm7 Gm7 Ab7M F#7M Eb7M
Yet to me this axis is a nest, a nest
verse 2
Eb7M Ab7
as secure as any, even the cracked boards,
Eb7M Ab7
even the rope rails hook me far better than your slick, marble stairs.
C#6 B7M
Yet my jangling course sways unnecessarily, irritates you
C#6 B7M
where you stand locked in your door, taut, waiting for me to enter my own settled house.
Fm7 Gm7
I am orphaned at the center.
Ab7M
Only my shadow will complete
Fm7 Gm7
this journey which I have decided
Ab7M
must settle right here, right now, far from the end, the end.
