[Verse 1]
[Em]"take me [Bm]again," she said,
thinking of him
"to the [D]pond with the swans
and the swimming"
[A]Far[Em] from his room the
famil[Bm]iar perfume
How it [D]felt to her when
she was na[A]ked
[Em]Lessons she [Bm]learned when her memory slurs
As they mar[D]vel with love
at the sun[A]set
[Em]Walking [Bm]away at the dark end of day
She will [D]measure and break
like a [A]habit[Gsus2]
[G]Oh [A]how the rain sounds as
[D]light as a [A]lover's [Bm]word
And [Gsus2]now and aga[A]in she's
[D]afraid when the [A]sun returns
[Bm]

[Verse 2]
[Em]"take me [Bm]again," she said, thinking of him
"I [A]don't [D]care for this careful behavi[A]or"
A [Em]brush through her [Bm]hair,
children kissing upstairs
Keeps her [D]up with her want for her [A]savior
The [Em]sun on the sand,
on her [Bm]knees and her hands
As [A]she [D]begs for her fish from the wa[A]ter
But [Em]turn them away,
[Bm]she's a whip and a slave
Given [D]time she may find
something bet[A]ter[Gsus2]
Oh [A]how the rain sounds as [D]loud
as [A]a lover's words
[Bm]And now [Gsus2]an d again[A] she's
[D]afraid when the [A]sun returns
