[Verse 1]
G/F       Em7
   I have never known peace
         C/E  A#                   G
Like the damp grass that yields to me
G/F       Em7
   I have never known hunger
           C/E A#                 G
Like these in_sects that feast on me
G/F      Em7
   A thousand teeth
    C/E
And yours among them, I know
G/F            Em7
   Our hungers appeased
    C/E  A#
Our heartbeats becoming slow

[Chorus]
G      G            D/A          G
 We'll lay here for years or for hours
D5             G
Thrown here or found,
   D5               G
to freeze or to thaw
              D/A        G
So long, we'd become the flowers
    D5         G         D5        G
Two corpses we were, two corpses I saw

[Verse 2]
    G
And they'd find us in a week
When the weather gets hot
C/E                    D5         G
After the insects have made their claim
I'd be home with you,
I'd be home with you

[Verse 3]
G/F       Em7
   I have never known sleep
          C/E A#             G
Like this slumber that creeps to me
G/F       Em7
   I have never known colours
          C/E A#         G
Like this morning reveals to me
G/F                Em7
   And you haven't moved an inch
C/E
   Such that I would not know
G/F            Em7
   If you sleep   always like this
    C/E   A#           G
The flesh calmly going cold

[Chorus]
      G            D/A          G
We'll lay here for years or for hours
     D5         G
Your hand in my hand,
   D5                G
so still and discreet
              D/A        G
So long, we'd become the flowers
     D5            G        D5        G
We'd feed well the land and worry the sheep

[Verse 4]
G
And they'd find us in a week
When the cattle show fear
C/E                    D5         G
After the insects have made their claim
C/E                  D5        G
After the foxes have known our taste
       D5        G
I'd be home with you,
       D5        G
I'd be home with you...

[Verse 5]
G
They'd find us in a week
When the weather gets hot
And they'd find us in a week
When the cattle show fear
And they'd find us in a week
When the buzzards get loud
After the insects have made their claim
After the foxes have known our taste
After the raven has had his say
       D5        G
I'd be home with you,
       D5        G
I'd be home with you
       D5        G
I'd be home with you,
       D5        G
I'd be home with you
       D5        G
I'd be home with you,
       D5        G
I'd be home with you
