Waiting For The Demons To Die



A D A
Up where the flies sound like elephants
D A A7
Trumpeting through the walls
D
Up where the cats are lethargic
A D A
When the nightly temperatures fall,
E D
I’m nested with my darling babe
A D A
And that’s where I’m gonna stay
D A
Till the snow has all gone away.
I wake in the morning like a bear.
She laughs in my face she don’t care.
I’m threading the needle of a dream
Where I hear the faintest scream.
And all that’s required is I’m calm from the start
And locate the good in my heart.
E D
Frost on the window blood in her cheeks
E D
The days blur into weeks
E D
I’m coughing up hair on the sunny stairs.
A D A D A
Waiting for the demons to die, waiting for the demons to die.
Now I’m splittin wood while she’s sleepin
As a wind howls through my bones
I’m talking to someone in the valley
Where the dog chews on the phone.
And all that’s required is I know my limits
And sing to her when she’s bored and light up another cord.
Frost on the window blood in her cheeks
The days bloom into weeds
I’m coughing up hair on the sunny stairs
Waiting for the demons to die, waitin for the demons to die
I can hear em dropping like flies
Waiting for the demons to die.
