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

INTRO
VERSE 1:
Perfect water - the dark wind braids the waves--
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:
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.

LEAD TACIT: ||: A% B C#m :|| :-2x

CHORUS:
A% B C#m
To flow inside the spiral tide,
A% B C#m
To drown my eyes like a blind ride,
A% B C#m A% B C#m
And to cross the perils of black water--
A% B C#m A% B C#m
It waits for me like mother and daughter--
A% B C#m A% B C#m
{A life}A life of perfect order--{A strange}A strange and perfect water--
A% B C#m A% B C#m
{A life}A life of perfect order--{A strange}A strange and perfect water--

LEAD TACIT:||:A% B C#m:||:-4x G5 (G5) [1 1/2-measure chord tacit;-:Em9]

VERSE 3:
Perfect water-- I dream this dream within the deep and warm
b C/9
Gulf Stream,
E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A
Where two blocks of ice melt into my hands like dice,
E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A
And I roll {seven} seven on the floor of the sea {seven}--
E A$ D/9/A E A$ D/9/A
And I roll {seven} seven on the floor of the sea {seven}--
G5 (G5) [1 1/2-measure chord tacit]
And I feel the perfect water, washing over me--

CHORUS [as above, then]:
A% B C#m A% B C#m
A life! A strange!
A% B C#m A% B C#m
A life! A strange!
