C
Our dream daughter
F
Candle on the altar
Dm Dm/C G7/B F C
Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right

You grew taller
F
Taller than I am
Dm Dm/C G7/B F C
In white light from her breast, I touched your hand
[Chorus]
Am9 Em9
Who are you?
F C F
Who would you have been?
Am9 Gm6 F
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 2]

One wing open

I took off in slow motion
Dm Dm/C G7/B F C
Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb
C
The clouds broke
F
Well, heaven took my throat
Dm Dm/C G7/B F C
With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die
[Chorus]
Am9 Em9
Who are you?
F C F
Who would you have been?

Blue jay stuck in my kitchen

Just cold water

The shadow's getting longer
Dm Dm/C G7/B F C
Though bright nights, hold my breath, silver on the right

I took all the blankets
F
And slept out in the yard
Dm Dm/C G7/B F C
Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars
[Chorus]
Am9 Em9
Who are you?
F C F
Who would you have been?
Am9 Gm6 F
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
