Graveyard Of Good Intentions

[Intro] [soft Rhodes voicings, slow 6/8 sway] [Verse 1] Wind in the cedars Names carved thin Marble leaning sideways Moss creeping in I walk these rows Like I once walked home Pocket full of questions Hands full of stone [Chorus] In this graveyard of good intentions Where the wild grass covers our plans Every promise I never mentioned Sleeps here beside who I am I bring flowers made of memory Lay them down, then I just stand In this graveyard of good intentions With your name on my hands [Verse 2] Late October lantern Moon stuck low Boot prints in the gravel Now dusted with snow I hum your old chorus Half-right, half-wrong Hear you in the branches Finishing the song [Chorus] In this graveyard of good intentions Where the wild grass covers our plans Every promise I never mentioned Sleeps here beside who I am I bring flowers made of memory Lay them down, then I just stand In this graveyard of good intentions With your name on my hands [Bridge] I should have called I should have stayed I should have listened To the words you never said All the should-have-beens All the almosts and ifs Curl like smoke above the stones Then vanish in the mist (oh) [Chorus] In this graveyard of good intentions Where the wild grass covers our plans Every promise I never mentioned Sleeps here beside who I am I bring flowers made of memory Lay them down, then understand In this graveyard of good intentions I’m forgiven, if I can [Outro] [Rhodes slows to bare chords, final voicing hanging in the air]
