Verse:
I'm circling around you, we're headed for the starlight in noon time.
(Riff) (First Bar)
Our love will spiral there, then she'll remove and lay it there around me.
(Riff) (Second Bar)
Sometimes the starlight, sometimes the starlight disappears.
(Riff) (First Bar)
When we got to cross the river exausted, and think I had thought...
Oh I know that you wanted to.
(Riff) (Second bar)
Chorus:
Don't crawl under our arms when it draws you down.
Something here comes back underneath the ground.
(Riff)
Verse:
One more low is coming, one more low is coming to take you.
(Riff) (First bar)
To gather up his favorite, he's gathering his favorite milkmaid.
(Riff) (Second bar)
C#m (Riff 2)
Don't let him take you, don't let him take you with him.
(Riff) (First bar)
Back when you're belonging could be innocent with a lovely sound.
And all the lovely sound.
(Riff) (Second bar)
Chorus:
Don't crawl under our arms when it draws you down.
Something here comes back underneath the ground.
Don't crawl under our arms when it draws you down.
Something here comes back underneath the ground.
Outro:
Gm (Riff 3)
Come back here, her spiral hair.
Note: The verse is carried mostly by that sustaining organ-like
sound, and you'll notice it doesn't translate very well onto the
guitar, (at least not the way I transcribed it). So, I just listed
power chords. I'm sure you'll figure something out... or, play
it on an organ. It sounds nice.
