INTRO: Em
I didn't want to burn like this, so close to the bone

No muscle left to carry it, this black bag of stones

Through the August heat, the autumn rain and winter's face of blue
C D
These seasons keep their spinning up, but there's no sign of you
C D
There is no sign

C D
And so I walk this verdant mile

The gentle arms of Eden

Well, Richard says the whippoorwill, taught him how to go
C D

Nobody, oh no

I miss you like I love the sound of blackbirds in the trees

C D
Come around

And so I walk this verdant mile

The gentle arms of Eden
