    Interlude 2






    Verse 13
    From 
    here 
    the 
    caravans 
    are 
    kids 
    toys 

    And 
    can 
    hold 
    them 
    all 
    in my 
    palm 

    watch 
    the sea 
    creep 
    round 

    the 
    corner 

    It connects 
    the 
    dots 
    from 
    here 

    to you 

    The sunlight 
    burning 
    through 

    the 
    loose 
    flags 

    Painted 
    high 
    on 
    white 
    church 
    walls 

    I chase 
    my 
    blood 
    from 
    brain 

    to 
    thumped 
    heart 

    Until 
    I'm 
    out 
    of breath 
    for 
    trying 

    Verse 14

    Worry 
    not 
    everything 
    is 
    sound 

    This 
    is 
    the safest 
    place 
    you've 
    found 

    The 
    only 
    noise 
    beat
    ing 
    out 
    is 
    ours 

    Lacing 
    our 
    tea 
    from 
    honey 
    jars 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 15
    These 
    acci
    dent
    of 

    faith 
    and 
    nature 

    They 
    tend 
    to 
    stick 
    in 

    the spokes 
    of 
    you 

    But 
    every 
    now 
    and 
    then 

    the 
    trend 
    buck

    And 
    you're 
    repaired 
    by 

    more 
    than 
    glue 


    Verse 16
    Worry 
    not 
    everything 
    is 
    sound 

    This 
    is 
    the 
    safest 
    place 
    you've 
    found 

    The 
    only 
    noise 
    beating 
    out 
    is 
    ours 

    Lacing 
    our 
    tea 
    from 
    hon
    ey 
    jars 

    Verse 17

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    rest 
    your 
    fragile 
    bones 

    minute 
    ago 
    you 
    looked 
    alone 

    Stop 
    waving 
    your 
    arms 
    you're 

    safe 
    and 
    dry 

    Interlude 4
    Breathe 
    in 
    and 
    drink 
    up 
    the 
    winter 
    sky 










    Verse 18
    Slowly 
    the 
    day 
    breaks 
    apart 

    in 
    our 
    hands 

    And 
    soft 
    hallelujahs 
    flow 
    in 

    from 
    the 
    church 

    The 
    one 
    on 
    the 
    corner 
    you 
    said 

    frightene
    you 

    It 
    was 
    too 
    dark 
    and 
    too 
    large 
    to 

    find 
    your 
    soul 
    in 

    Verse 19

    Something 
    was 
    bound 
    to 
    go 

    right 
    sometime 
    today 

    All 
    these 
    broken 
    pieces 
    fit 
    togeth
    er 

    To 
    make 
    perfect 
    picture 
    of 
    us 

    It 
    got 
    cold 
    and 
    then 
    dark 

    so 
    suddenly 
    and rained 

    It 
    rained 
    so 
    hard 
    the two 
    of us 

    were 
    the 
    only 
    thing 

    That 
    we 
    could 
    see 
    for 
    miles 
    and 
    miles 

    Verse 20
    And 
    in 
    the 
    middle 
    of 
    the 

    flood 
    I felt 
    my 
    worth 

    When 
    you 
    held 
    onto 
    me 
    like 

    was 
    your 
    little 
    life 
    raft 

    Please 
    know 
    that 
    you 
    were 
    mine 
    as 
    well 

    Drops 
    of 
    water 
    hit 
    the 
    ground 
    like 

    God's 
    own 
    tears 

    And spread 
    out 
    into 
    shapes 

    like salad 
    bowls 

    And 
    basins 
    and 
    buckets 

    for 
    bailing 
    out 
    the 
    flood 

    Verse 21
    As 
    motionless 
    cars 
    rust 
    on 

    driveways 
    and 
    curbs 

    You 
    take 
    off 
    your 
    raincoat 
    and 

    stretch 
    out 
    your 
    arms 

    We 
    both 
    laugh 
    out 
    loud 

    and 
    sur
    render 
    to 
    it 

    The 
    sheer 
    force 
    of 
    sky 
    and 
    the 

    cold 
    magnet 
    earth

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
