A                           D
Only the faintest only the faintest
                           A
glance buries you buries me
A                             D
So fire your engine see if I give
                               A
a damn, we'll be dust instantly

Caught in a jet stream caught in a gorgeous howl
all the world lost in noise
Use me forever use me for rocket fuel,
I'll be air I'll be fire

Chorus:
D
You say you love me like
     A              Bm
the silence of the turning Earth
You say you love me like
the endless roar of modern life
You say you love me like
the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you love me like
the past the now the coming years

What will you remember what will
you think of me after I say goodbye
Returning in bodies, plants and the sand
you'll squeeze in between shoeless feet

Chorus:
I know I love you like
the slivered gold of dying days
I know I love you like
an ancient history brought to life
I know I love you like
the sunlit water on your skin
I know I love you like
the million times I never said

I know you love me like
the silence of the turning Earth
I know you love me like
the endless roar of modern life
I know you love me like
the laughter and the kissed back tears
I know you love me like
the past the now the coming years
