Tasting you and rain i walk down to the train

Thank you for making me see there's a life in me
It was dying to get out
Holding you we make two spoons beneath an april moon
Everything is soft and sweet

Crawling down my tired throat, scratches part of me that's purring
       A/E
Softly stirring

Verse 3 (same as first)
I'm a captian of industrey smoking famously
Feet up on the windowsill
Looking at all these trees i feel affinity with
Everything so soft and still

Budding at my fingertips
Touching you i start to bloom
Alive with trains and passing ships
Soft and sweet along your lips now
I go "oh wow"

Verse/Chorus Break (w/o lead) - 1x
Play an E then stop

(organ and bass play)
Thank you for taking me from my monastary
I was dying to get out
With tears of gratitude
I like my latitude
A cross town train to you

Now all these tastes improve
Through thte view that comes with you
Like they handed me my life
For the first time it felt worth it
Like it deserved it
