I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree 

By the standing pool where you drank me 

D             A/C#            Bm

And filled me full of thirsty love 

Bm          A       G

And the memory of water



  Bm          A          G

I wonder if a king still fishes there 

Bm         A                    G

His back towards the burned-out air 

D            A/C#            Bm

His laughing catches singing loud 

G          A       Bm

Of the memory of water 



     D                  A/C#

Your taste is blood and ecstasy 

    Bm               A

But I must drink you all alone 

G                      F#m

You're freckled like a speckled egg 

E                Bm              A     E/G#    G

A dove, but this bird has flown 



  D                  A/C#     Bm     A

O stay with me sweet memory 

G F#m       E     G

O stay with me 



  Bm           A                    Bm

I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree 

Bm              A                    Bm

By the standing pool where you drank me 

D             A/C#            Bm

As pain flows through me like champagne 

G          A     Bm

Of the memory of water
