Cardinal Directions by Thoushaltnot
Cardinal Directions
No capo.
Dm F
I split the atom of one second
C
Choosing history's lathe
Bb
Each word summons now the next
Dm
A master to his slave
Dm
Countless links
F
Within some silent chain
C Bb
And time becomes the sediment that drifts to algae
Dm
Divorced from comets' trains
Dm F
In the East, a reflection
C
Of the Western sunset
Bb
North, South, pole to pole
Turn back in regret
Dm F
And to the East I might stumble
C
To the West I would crawl
Bb
And if North is the winter
C
Then South is the fall
(>>>>>>>>Chorus<<<<<<<<<<)
C variation? Bb
And if I had my way, I'd make the clock rewind
F
I'd live again that moment, though I know I'll never find
F#
The future that I missed, a parallel line
G# C#
Where the world would be so bright that it could make us all go blind
B
And if I had my day, there's so much I'd reclaim
F#
The sanctity of motion, the neverending rain
G
The cardinal directions, all pointing to the past
A
Where realities converge, and for a moment, we're the same
Dm
And magnets spin the compass
In an embryonic flame
Dm F
Somewhere is the promise
C
Of an uncharted trail
Bb
With seven hundred branching limbs
Dm
And seven hundred ways to fail
Dm F
To the East, a reflection
C
Of the new moon in the West
Bb
Her timeless watch is quiet
Dm
Over tides of her unrest
Dm F
To the North is the current
C
Of a man breathing out
Bb
Giving birth to the breeze
C
To be inhaled in the South
<<<<<<<<<<<(chorus)>>>>>>>>
Dm
Same as always
Same as always
