LYRICS, CHORDS, & SEQUENCE of PARTS (see below for chord durations)--

INTRO

VERSE 1:

Bm@ A@ G5 Em7

Perfect water - the dark wind braids the waves--

D/F# G5 D b C9 a Bm@ (Bm@)

The crazed birds raid the trees-- Is this our destiny?

E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A

To join our hands at sea-- and slow - ly

E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A

sink, and slow - ly think:

G5 (G5) [1 1/2-measure chord tacit; ->Em9]

This is perfect water, passing over me--

INTRO

VERSE 2:

Bm@ A@ G5 Em7 D/F# G5

Do you know Jacques Cousteau? Well, they said on the radi - o

D b C/9 a Bm (Bm)

That he hears bells in random order, deep beneath the perfect water--

E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A

Love that is frightening,

E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A

but still so inviting--

E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A

To drown {drown-drown} inside a sound that lay so far underground,

E A$ D/9/A

And to think--{and to think} And to think {and to think}:

G5 (G5) [2-measure chord tacit]

This is perfect water, passing over me.
