verse 1
G
Once we stretched out so fair
My hand here, your mouth there
C Em
As the fog stepped around us
C
There was hay in your hair.
G
And the salt of our skin
Brined the clay there within
C Em
It was mine that would harden
C
And then cease to bend.
G
When my only trouble
When my only trouble
C D
When my only trouble
G
Is you.
verse 2
G
Now I stand at the wood
Where the wind bends the pines
C Em
And the place where you loved me
C
Wears the mark of our spines.
G
But when spring still shows
Brings the tulip and the rose
C Em
Well, then no one will pity
C
A girl in the throes.
G
When my only trouble…
G
Now I won't scorn the god
Who had thickened the fog,
C Em
He's the one that brings the thunder
C
When that's all I've got.
Outro
G
When my only trouble…
