Cathedral In The Dell

Andrew Bird

VERSE (single strum) The cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship * Like the hand of God falling from the sky (strumming) A thousand stone-carved saints hang like icicles But icicles don't take a thousand years to die And all of us who worked on this cathedral * Or even spent a moment passing by All of us are swept away like breadcrumbs What comfort does it bring Soaring towers left behind Towers left behind (single strum) Well there's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin * Where kids race go-carts around a moat (strumming) Once we went up there in December When all the waterslides and fudge shops were closed Looking to find love under the ice machine * But all we did was drink in empty bars Stumbling drunk we crawled back to our hotel rooms I fell against you and felt your beating heart I felt your beating heart (single strum) Well the snow is slowly falling on the ice machine * And the moon shone hazy through the pine Lawn chairs were thrown into an empty pool A dog chained to a tree barking at the sky Towers left behind OUTRO e|--5-2-0--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------2-0-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------2---------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
