Marillion - Memory Of Water

marillion memory of water
from the this strange engine ( 1997 ) record

i wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree
by the standing pool where you drank me
D A/C# Bm
and filled me full of thirsty love
Bm A G
and the memory of water

Bm A G
i wonder if a king still fishes there
Bm A G
his back towards the burned – out air
D A/C# Bm
his laughing catches singing loud
G A Bm
of the memory of water

D A/C#
your taste is blood and ecstasy
Bm A
but i must drink you all alone
G F#m
you’re freckled like a speckled egg
E Bm A E/G# G
a dove , but this bird has flown

D A/C# Bm A
o stay with me sweet memory
G F#m E G
o stay with me

Bm A Bm
i wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree
Bm A Bm
by the standing pool where you drank me
D A/C# Bm
as pain flows through me like champagne
G A Bm
of the memory of water
