Grim Augury

Em
Both our families after gathering
We're cutting a baby out
With my grandmother's heirloom antler-handled carving knife
They were under her grand chandelier
Am
Where we all, together, have shared holiday dinner
           Em
But it was your father that was holding the knife
Dm
Yeah, I begged you not to make me tell ya
Am                                        Em
Yeah, I pleaded with you to, to leave it alone

Em
I told ya
I told you that you didn't want to know
What went on in my horrible dream

Am
I was peering in through the picture window
It was a heart-warming tableau
Em
Like a Norman Rockwell painting
Until I zoomed in
Dm
I was making noises in my sleep
Am
But you wouldn't believe me when I told ya
              Em
That I wasn't with someone in my dream
Dm                                   Am
Catfish were wriggling in blood and gore in the kitchen sink

         Em
Yeah, I told ya
I told ya
I told you
Now sweetie, please promise me
That you won't sing
This sad song, grim augury
