Capo II

   A                         D
I don't hear wind up in the trees
        Bm                   E
Nothing stirs those ancient leaves
       A                              F#m
And I don't know what begins it, the growing of the vines
D  
The deep descending patterns of the wrinkling of time
            E                               D               A
Like that little plastic flowerpot still sitting on the stairs
            E                                 D             A
Holding a dead bougainvillea from last year's burst of repairs
                 E                             D              A
And all of the fences we built then are still holding in the dogs
            E       D             A
Of our love, of our love, of our love

Verse 2:
           A               D
Every old place, every old time
             Bm             E
I thought I knew my haunted mind
           A                             F#m
Thought I picked through every longing a million years ago
      D
At night I dream I'm flying down an endless open road

            E                 D           A
But our old Toyota is still frozen in the mud
            E                        D                 A
How I begged you to leave it on the street during the flood
            E                           D            A
And how it sank further in the more we graveled and dug
     E         D        A
Our love, our love, our love

Verse 3: 
              A                  D
Outside it's warm, the first of spring
     Bm             E
The opening of everything
      A                       F#m 
And this is what we wanted, a place to settle down
 D  
But nothing can prepare you for the gravity of ground
         E                   D              A
And our old foundation is so settled in its way
          E            D       A
I've got less baby and less to say
            E                            D                A
And all the paint and rearranging never seems to stir the dust
        E           D             A  
Of our love, of our love, of our love
