IN AN OPEN FIELD AT DUSK
TO FOOTFALLS I AWOKE
MARCHING ANTS ACROSS MY TEMPLES, OH
[G]THEIR FEET HAD NO INTENTION
THEY FOLLOWED SOME MAGNETIC DRUM
[Em]PRISONERS OF THEIR [Asus2]DESTINA[Em]TION
VERSE 1:
[G]WHERE ONCE THEY DID MAKE RAILS
OLD DEATH'S PECULIAR SONGS
HE DIDN'T [C]KNOW I WAS [Am]LISTENING
VERSE 2:
[G]SO HE CROWED OUT NICE AND LONG
Am G*
TO THE SPIDERS AND THE LUMBER AND THE DUST
OF HIS [Am]CONQUESTS AND HIS [D]HUNGER, HIS [Em]LUST
VERSE 3:
[G]I HEARD HIS FEET REJOICE
I HEARD HIM TAP HIS CANE
AS [Am]IF HE HAD HIS OWN REVIEW
ON STAGE AT THE [D]ATHENAEUM
VERSE 4:
Em G*
I CAUGHT HIS WORDS WITH MY OPEN MOUTH
Em G*
I GAGGED AND CHOKED AND SPIT THEM OUT
Em G*
I HEARD HIM TURN AS HE DID HEAR
MY [C]TINY HEARTBEAT [Am]IN HIS EAR
[Em]I WAS ALREADY RUNNING
I HEARD HIM COMING
VERSE 5:
Em G*
SHRAPNEL SPITTING FROM HIS WHEELS
Em G*
HIS SCYTHING ARMS RAKE FOR MY HEELS
Em G*
I DOVE AND ROLLED AND HID MY FACE
AND I [Am]SAID THESE MAGIC [Em]WORDS:
CHORUS:
[Am]"MY DOVE IS HOME, HER [C]BREAST IS WARM, MY [Em]DOVE IS HOME"
[G]I SAID THESE MAGIC WORDS AND
FELL [Am]DOWN, DOWN, THE ANTHILL
[Em]FOR DAYS
[Am]"MY DOVE IS HOME, HER [C]BREAST IS WARM, MY [Em]DOVE IS HOME"
[Am]"MY DOVE IS HOME, HER [C]BREAST IS WARM, MY [Em]DOVE IS HOME"
