Anchored to the Wind

Your breath across the mirror evaporates

	the spell

Ten Thousand Mile House

	I guess it's just as well
        bm                        C
I came windmilling across your threshold
               A                          bm
To tickle the feet of dreams where they sleep
              G                         A
	(Those ideas with the child-proof caps)
                D           G           A
And make more promises than I can ever keep -
    G     
	Soft glare
    D
	Wide load
    G
	Sheet of hail
        D
	Across the road
A
Swallows the dotted white line

           G                      A
Where the rain sweeps in like a stiff-bristled broom
D         A       bm
Brushing dandruff off the moon
G                A                    D       A bm
With breathe out and breathe in these symbol words begin
em        A
Oh for a cup of tea
D          A      bm
A welcome heat inside of me

I must throw these anchors to the wind.

          D      A       G         G+9
So sleep softly little dream walls

Will fall around you when you wake
             D      A       G     G+9
And breathe deeply little breeze tear
              G+6+9    A          D   G  em  A    C
The rattled scattered walls that break


       F                     
Into fragments tumbled-diamonded in the

C                A
Ocean-exhaled streams
F                                   C
Carried in the claws of the hermit tiptoe
                    A
Running across the beach
            dm            Bbdom7+*        A         
Who's that bobbing on the ocean's broken seams
Bbdom7+          em7
Seaweed teathers in their reach
A   [aeabe] [aegbe]
Anchored -
A   [aeabe] [aegbe]
Anchored -

          G               A              D
And they say I need your hearth-fire like a
      A    bm
Dandelion needs a parachute.

  Hafted voice

  Halfway heard

  How there's else I know nothing to do
