Cm
Sage that she was burning
          A#/D
When she sang, she sang of clouds of all things
D#
Hyacinth evening
 Cm
Rattling the breeze in
       Gm/A#
We go swimming

Sage that she was burning
When she sang, she sang of clouds of all things
Hyacinth evening
Rattling the breeze in
We go swimming

Chorus:
Cm                   A#/D
Sinner, the sinner shouts
       D#                Cm
Half a lie comes halfway out
         Gm
Halfway in a halfway house
Cm                      A#/D
The memory grows half asleep
        D#              Cm
Half a life is half in dream
        D#              A#
Half a life is half in dream

They came asking for you

         Cm           G#
And the memory grows half asleep
 D#             A#
Half a life is half in dream
 Cm            G#
Half a life is half in dream
   D#
I know all the right places
    A#
To lose you in the races

Howling in the distance
In the absolute distance
Palm fronds
A courtyard
A burning mind

Sage that she was burning
When she sang, she sang of clouds of all things
Hyacinth evening
Rattling the breeze in
We go swimming

Sage that she was burning
When she sang, she sang of clouds of all things
Hyacinth evening
Rattling the breeze in
We go swimming

And the memory grows half asleep
Half a life is half in dream
Half a life is half in dream
