Raise Them Higher

C*                G*
He's got feathers in his pockets,
   Em*                     D*
He finds them lying by the side of the road,
C*                      G*
Along the train tracks, by the water,
   C*               Em*         D*
He thinks about the seed he has sown.
C*                 G*
He feels something tugging at him,

Em*
That pulls him close and lets him go,
D*
He pulls it close, he lets it go.
C*                        G*
He pulls you close and he lets you go.
Em*                           D*
His body's growing heavy underneath this mortal load.

C                    G
She's got wings back behind her eyes,
Em                                        D
Some days the colors catch them, lift her off of the earth.
C                G
In the morning, before the mirror,
    Em                              D
She wonders how much eggs are worth.
C                     G
She feels something, something breaking,

Em
That pulls her close and lets her go,
    D
She pulls it close, she lets it go.
    C                       G
She pulls you close and she lets you go.
C                   Em            D
Her lips are saying no, while her body is giving birth.
