Old Gemini

F5 Esus D5 E5

                    F5
Evening in the garden
                Esus
Surrounded by fireflies
                       D5
We'd only just moved in
                                Esus
I spent my time alone there reading
                           F5
And planted one thing a day
                      Esus
While shoveling the yard
                  D5
My spade hit a metal box
                  Esus
And in it was a diary
                     Bb5
The cover old and frayed

                                C5
It said "I don't know how much time I have
                              D5
But I guess we never really do
                          F5
I thought that I would be terrified
                               Bb5
But it's worse to watch them watching
                                C5
Sometimes I wish our lives were simpler
                                  D5
That we never had to stretch the food
                                F5
That people here would treat my brother well
                                 Bb5
And that he would know he's good"

                       Esus
I laid out all those pages
                             D5
And in my study typed them up
                           Esus
It was tough to say how old they were
                         F5
I guess... years at least
                         Esus
The boy who wrote these words
                     D5
Was an odd and complicated mind
                      Esus
But wisdom's often heavier
                          Bb5
When found before its time

                                C5
He said "We all get stuck in circles
                             D5
But nothing moves in perfect lines
                          F5
Connections underly the things we see
                          Bb5
But to nuances we're blind
                   C5
And I am never singular
                           D5
I was born a pair to walk alone
                        F5
My mirror shows the things I'm not
                        Bb5
But he helps me feel at home"
