[Intro]

Em/G Em/F# Em

[Verse 1]

Em/G Em/F# Em

Our daughter is one and a half

Em/G Em/F# Em

You have been dead eleven days

[Chorus]

C/G D/F#

I got on the boat and came to the place

Em/G Em/F# Em

Where the three of us were going to build our house

Em/G Em/F# Em

If you had lived

C/G

You died though

D/F#

So I came here alone

[Verse 2]

Em/G Em/F# Em

with our baby and the dust of your bones

[Chorus]

C/G D/F# Em/G Em/F# Em

I can't remember, were you into Canada geese?

C/G D/F#

Is it significant

Em/G Em/F# E

These hundreds on the beach?

[Verse 3]

Em/G Em/F# E

Or were they just hungry

Em/G Em/F# E

For mid-migration seaweed?

[Chrous]

C/G D/F#

What about foxgloves

Em/G Em/F# Em

Is that a flower you liked?

C/G D/F#

I can't remember

Em/G Em/F# Em

You did most of my remembering for me

[Verse 4]

Em/G Em/F# Em

And now I stand untethered

Em/G Em/F# Em

In a field full of wild foxgloves

[Chorus]

C/G D/F#

Wondering if you're there

Em/G Em/F# Em

Or if a flower means anything

C/G D/F#

And what could anything mean

Em/G Em/F# Em

In this crushing absurdity

[Verse 5]

Em/G Em/A Em/B

I brought a chair from home

Em/G Em/A Em/B

I'm leaving it on the hill

Em/G Em/A Em/G

Facing west and north

Em/G Em/A Em/G

And I poured out your ashes on it

Em/G Em/A Em/G

I guess so you can watch the sunset

Em/G Em/A Em/G

But the truth is I don't think of that dust as you

Em/G Em/A Em/G

C/G

You are the sunset
