C DAnd she chose a yard to burn
G CBut the ground remembers her
G D/F#Wooden spoons, her children stir her
C DBougainvillea blooms

G CLike our endless numbered days
G D/F#Autumn blew the quilt right off the

C Dshe'll sit and think of me
C DBut she'll mend his tattered clothes
G CAnd they'll kiss as if they know
G D/F# CA baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared
D to be alone
