            C#
It was the dead of winter
                     F#
The cold was in our bones
          C#
And our shelves stood barren
                F#
As we had ever known

        F#      C#           F#          G#
So our mother stands on the porch one evening
    F#       C#          G#     F#
The silent crack in her stormy mask
    C#     G#         F#
she looked up at the sky, and said "please"

            C#                                F#
And by the turn of summer we packed up all we owned
             C#
And with my mom and brothers we started for
     F#
the coast
    C#                     G#           F#
And I would count all the clouds on the way
            C#                                  F#
And you and I would name them while the world around
us changed

And I remember asking if the place we're
moving would have more food
And my mother grew as distant as can be
and mouthed, "please"

   C#           F#           C#
So I, so tired eyes, pay no mind
     F#                  G#
The river of time will drown these days out
C#
It was the year just after we stood and watched
     F#
the sea
        C#                                F#
And my mom was smiling no longer saying please
