Am
C
Am
I tried to sleep upon
my back so I could
Hold her all night long as in my
but no I couldn't
Am
And when daybreak came and found her
At the far side of the bed I tried to
C
Wake her, tried to stir her,
but she wouldn't
Fm
In her fug she lay like someone dead
And even when I'd tug her head and
Bb
Press and nip and agitate and shake her
Fm
Or call her name or whisper
it against her ear,
C
My breath warm, there were
No words in this universe

would wake her

Verse 3
F
Am
It took me time to comprehend
This state of play extended unto
C
All her working, waking, shaking hours
Am
For when she finally woke, deep in the day
Still she did sleepwalk like a
A- float in haunted towers
Fm
And though she heard she didn't see
And though she saw she
didn't hear,
Attending only to what
Bb
seemed precise and kind
Fm
For she was settled in her dream,
A shopping list of small illusions,
C
Pretty stories that she told

And gave sweet head
Am
F
When we sang in tongues together
Em
And our syn chronised guitars
C
Played music to the rafters
G
Made love among the stars
F
And our bodies beat like light
C
G
As her tiny kisses burst like
Fm
G
Popping suns around my face
Verse 6
Am
But then drift, recline, collapse,
The lights went out, she fell asleep again
C
Before my kiss- wet face was even dry
Am
I need another haircut she'd say,
Talking in her sleep,
the sleep- motes
C
Gathered in the dust- bowls of her eye
Fm
She teetered down the road apiece,
She and her man, from dozy bedsit land
To junkshop, with her sleeping
Fm
And when I'd gone she teetered
down the road again,
And went and brought the bloody
