At the margins of the land I get to know your skin
Am Em
Where the sand dunes slope into a wild ocean
Am/C FM7b5
Where the great plain heaves into a jagged mountain
Am E
I feel your heart swell with a ghost life here

And yet some days we are stones, cold and stuck
Whether or in time or place or head or heart
But dear we'll never feel the years with the wind at our backs
And we can live our days in a ghost life here
So magnificent

Oh, blood, ocean blood, salty blood
Abdim Am Em
Flows like torrents from our hearts
(tab) G6
And knows just what it wants
Love, shapeless love, wide, tireless love
Fast in the free ether
Ghostly white and seething up
Sky, ocean-side, dark, mirrors shine
Swift to the backs of our eyes
Deep, wanting eyes
C F Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh x7 then (tab)
