Why do the birds chirp?

Why do the birds chirp?  What secret is beholden to the weight of a feather, drifting lazily through the morning breeze?

Why does the sun rise?  What wisdom is spoken by the daybreak slowfalling upwards from the horizon, heralding another morning?

Why do I err?  What within me holds to its own, reaching out only to fall back again upon clumsy devices?

What should I say?  What words without which I, wound about, would walk alone, if only to discover the muse?

These things I contemplate, while I await the answers in the form of wafting clouds, or words which become them, if only to dissolve again into the midnight azure -

End on EmD - Esus?

From the taste of a madeleine
Remembrance of the future’s kindred kin
Evokes the time it takes to settle in
And so the mime plays the mandolin

EmD - F#.A

Twisted up like a croissant
Take a trip to what you want
Get a dime from a savant
Take a bite yeah the night's piquant

Em - Esus
Em - Aopen5

Hiding out from the soul's haunt
Leave a note in the spirit's font/want
Read a passage from Mr. Kant
Get a letter from an astronaut

( leave a message for a confidant )

Gopen56 - A7open56

Battles lost and battles fought
Wrap my mind around cause it's a lot
Trippin up on what I'm not
Trade it in for the buyer's bought

F#.A^F# - Gopen56

Wrap a shade cause it's getting hot
Have some wine it'll hit the spot
Carolina to the terawatt
Say the word or it's all for naught

G - A7

Walk a mile in biker's shoes
See the eyes of the tiger's muse
Beam me up or will Riker lose
See thought's collision blow a fuse

Amopen - Bmopen.slide - Em
C.Aopen - D.Bopen.slide -Em

Lost forgotten for the things I did
Lost it all but can we forgive
In atari but I can live
Lose it all but can we forgive

EmD - F#A

Take a dip yeah the water's warm
Write a letter read the form
Wrap a belt so it'll conform
All the same it's just the norm

Em - Esus
Em - Aopen5

Take a swim yeah the water's fine
To the ocean you read my mind
Got the bends climbing cloud nine
Read the cards is it a sign

Gopen56 - A7open56

Here alone with my guitar
Kiss the galaxy shoot a star
Can't change the past but here we are
Can't take a step cause it's too far

F#.A^F# - Gopen56

Ring me round back to the sea
Longing hearts yearn to be free
Stir it up for a new decree
Switch it up for the master key

G - A7

Can't stop words this is agony
Bring me back to the sea
Hearts are yearning to be free
Revolution inside of me

Amopen - Bmopen.slide - Em
C.Aopen - D.Bopen.slide -Em

Lost forgotten for the things I said
Can't stop writing when my face is red / was red
Lost forgotten for the things unsaid
...

EmD – F#.A

Take a bite of a madeleine
Remember past present future's kin
The time it took things to settle in
Was why the rook played the mandolin

Em – Esus
Em – Aopen5

Dancing sassafrasing in the night
Lead me back into the light
Catch a breeze fly a kite
Drink the ocean, take a flight

Gopen56 – A7open56

Wanton thoughts that I misconstrue
Alabaster on the avenue
It's a long way this is true
Forget everything you thought you knew

F#.A^F#

Queen to bishop's rook five
Read a book to stay alive
...

G – A7

Make a movie for the yoda scene
I think I'm fine thanks for noticing
Ride a rhythm to the mezzanine
Turn the page in a magazine

stop to think is it a good move
Take a picture at the Louvre
Can't get past the way you move
Made mistake can I undo?

Say the word this is too much
Bite a lemon cookie on a crutch
Take a walk it's a double dutch
Take a break on a friction clutch

Got a thought from whichway
Whilst I wondered whether she would stay
Missing moments that I heard you say
Were precious only in the hardest way

Static cracking on the analog
Leave a note in the captain's log
Can't get through this I'm in a fog
Wriggle round like a polliwog

Walk the beat with a metronome
Take a seat can I come home
Had a dream about the Kingdome
Got a feeling that I'm in the zone
