Dm F G
I breathe
Dm F G
My throat clenches
Dm F G
Clutching to exclude
Dm F G
A dozen different stenches
Dm F G
In Falmouth Bay
Dm F G
A blue whale rolls
Dm F G
Gonna drown in the swill
Dm F G
From city sewer holes
Dm F G
Summers longer
Dm F G
Deltas gashed
Dm F G
Ancient trees
Dm G F
Uprooted, smashed
[n.c.]
(Dm)
Time is generous, more, take more
Time is generous, more, take more
Time is generous, more, take more
I must outrun the dinosaur
A silent temple, marble-hard
Decays and softens, battle-scarred
A relic deaf to bits and streams
And polo-necks and perfect jeans
Obsessed with silence, spiked by noise
I hold my son, I plan his toys
Time expansive, more, take more
Time expansive, more, take more
Time expansive, more, take more
I must outlive the dinosaur
Rising rivers, drown new shoots
Words and breath in death cahoots
The strong survive to wean more brutes
Who grow and seed, extend their roots
Cowards, bombs and scab recruits
Like monkeys trapped in monkey suits
Time is plentiful, more, take more
Time is plentiful, more, take more
Time is plentiful, more, take more
I must outfight the dinosaur
