Your Rocky Spine Lyrics

Great Lake Swimmers
"Your Rocky Spine"
Intro/Outro
ridge
horus
Intro/Outro
:
I was lost in the Lakes
And the shapes that your body makes
That your body makes, that your body makes
That your body makes
ridge
:
And the mountains said I could find you here
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
Your body was the map, I was lost in it
horus
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you're mine
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you're mine
Intro/Outro
:
I was moving across your frozen veneer
The sky was dark but you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps?
And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you?
And with your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
I could tell then and there we were formed from the clay
And came from the rocks for the earth to display
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rages through your hair
Intro/Outro

:
I won't pretend this follows the song verbatim, but it can serve as a platform
to play around with. The intro/outro attempts to capture the flair of the banjo
while staying true to the role of rhythm guitar. While on the topic, I'm not
sure that the Fsus4 I have listed is correct; rather, the chord may
actually be A#Mag7/F .
