lyrics

(Capo on fret 7)
G Em C D
G D

And she will wake
When it comes to the morning, it's over her head
It's black and it swirls, and the fear it unfurls
Twisting over the bed
And she will rise
And creep to the mirror that swallows her whole
The face it looks fine, but behind every line
It's a dubious role

{Chorus}
Does she have the right, does she know how to fight
For the answers, who's wearing her skirts?
That black spiral swirl, it buzzes and twirls,
It's so present it hurts
Does she have the right, does she know how to fight
For the answers that leave her to bleed
Can she start to come home, ff she makes it alone
Will it leave her in peace?

And she will stray
For 3,000 miles she'll leave it behind
If she opens her eyes will she see with surprise
What she came there to find?
And she will drink
She'll beg and she'll plead for a chance to resign
But that black spiral swirl, buzzes and twirls for an infinite time

{Chorus}
Whistle

And she will slip
She'll take that plunge crashing down into the blue
The sting is so strong, but it won't be so long
Til she's down there with you
And she will wake
When it come to the morning, a shiny new day
And that black spiral swirl, still buzzes and twirls
But not quite the same way
