LYRICS, CHORDS, & SEQUENCE of PARTS (see below for chord durations)—
INTRO
VERSE 1:
Bm@ A@ G5 Em7
Perfect water — the dark wind braids the waves—
D/F# G5 D b C9 a Bm@ (Bm@)
The crazed birds raid the trees— Is this our destiny?
E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A
To join our hands at sea— and slow — ly
E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A
Sink, and slow — ly think:
G5 (G5) [1 1/2-measure chord tacit; ->Em9]
This is perfect water, passing over me—
INTRO
VERSE 2:
Bm@ A@ G5 Em7 D/F# G5
Do you know Jacques Cousteau? Well, they said on the radi — o
D b C/9 a Bm (Bm)
That he hears bells in random order, deep beneath the perfect water—
E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A
Love that is frightening,
E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A
But still so inviting—
E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A
To drown {drown-drown} inside a sound that lay so far underground,
E A$ D/9/A
And to think—{and to think} And to think {and to think}:
G5 (G5) [2-measure chord tacit]
This is perfect water, passing over me.
