World Heaves

 Riff 
I look to the North in the end of light 
        A                G 
Late November squinting eyes 
 Riff                                 
Island in the fog, remembered mind 
    Em    A                  Bm           Em   
Watching ways while years go by 
                  G     
Getting old and blurry 
          A      
What is person? 
         Em              Bm      
What's planet and what's sky? 
   Riff                  A       
Standing in the surf, the wind blows 
            Em          A     Bm              
The water roaring, the wind blows 

          E                       G   
And the sound of the air rushing out 
                        Em           
Of a vast throat roars uncertainty 
 G        A  
Into the sky 
  Riff                                
Seeing in the dark remembered mind 
A       Em                Bm                          
In the void, a thing grows and collapses white 
  Riff                             
Form after form, born at night 
       A                    G         
The world of water heaves inside us
