E C#m Thinking outrageously I write in cursive A F#m I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor E C#m Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers A F#m I see my own breath on the face of the door Oh I am not quite sleeping Oh I am fast in bed There on the wall in the bedroom creeping I see a wasp with her wings outstretched North of Savanna we swim in the Palisades I come out wearing my brother's red hat There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times He runs washing his face in his hands Oh how I meant to tease him Oh how I meant no harm Touching his back with my hand I kiss him I see the wasp on the length of my arm Chorus: E Bsus4 B F#m7 A E Trail of Tears and Horse-shoe Lake. Hallelujah! (We were in love, we were in love, Palisades, Palisades, I can wait, I can wait) E Bsus4 B F#m7 A E Trusting things beyond mistake. Hallelujah! (We were in love, we were in love, Palisades, Palisades, I can wait, I can wait) We were in love. We were in love Palisades! Palisades! I can wait. I can wait E Bsus4 B F#m7 A E Lamb of God, we sound the horn. Hallelujah! (We were in love, we were in love, Palisades, Palisades, I can wait, I can wait) E Bsus4 B F#m7 A E Un-to us your ghost is born. Hallelujah! (We were in love, we were in love, Palisades, Palisades, I can wait, I can wait) I can't explain the state that I'm in The state of my heart, he was my best friend Into the car, from the back seat Oh, admiration in falling asleep All of my powers, day after day I can tell you, we swaggered and swayed Deep in the tower, the prairies below I can tell you— the telling gets old Terrible sting and terrible storm I can tell you the day we were born Oh great sights upon this state! Hallelu- My friend is gone, he ran away I can tell you, I love him each day [Backing - Simultaneous to above] Wonders bright, and rivers, lake. Hallelu- Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged I can tell you I love him each day Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake. Hallelu- Terrible sting, terrible storm I can tell you... We were in love. We were in love Palisades! Palisades! I can wait. I can wait Trusting things beyond mistake.
