Song for Zula — Phosphorescent
Chords and lyrics for Song for Zula by Phosphorescent (key of A).
Verse 1
Some say [E]love is a [B]burning thing
That it [C#m]makes a fiery [A]ring
Oh, but I know [E]love as a [B]fading thing
Just as [C#m]fickle as a feather in a [A]stream
See, honey, I saw [E]love. You see, it came to [B]me
It put its [C#m]face up to my face so I could [A]see
Yeah, then I saw [E]love disfigure [B]me
Into [C#m]something I am not [A]recognizing
Verse 2
See, the cage, it [E]called. I said, [B]"Come on in"
I will not [C#m]open myself up this way [A]again
Nor lay my face to the [E]soil, nor my teeth to the [B]sand
I will not [C#m]lay like this for days now upon[A] end
You will not see me [E]fall, nor see me struggle [B]to stand
To be [C#m]acknowledged by some touch from his [A]gnarled hands
You see, the cage, it [E]called. I said, "Come on [B]in"
I will not [C#m]open myself up this way [A]again
Verse 3
You see, the moon is [E]bright in that treetop [B]night
I see the [C#m]shadows that we cast in the cold, [A]clean light
My feet are [E]gold. My heart is [B]white
And we [C#m]race out on the desert plains [A]all night
See, honey, I am [E]not some broken [B]thing
I do not [C#m]lay here in the dark waiting for [A]thee
No, my heart is [E]gold. My feet are [B]light
And I am [C#m]racing out on the desert plains all[A] night
Verse 4
So some say [E]love is a [B]burning thing
That it [C#m]makes a fiery [A]ring
Oh, but I know [E]love as a [B]caging thing
Just a [C#m]killer come to call from some [A]awful dream
Oh, and all you [E]folks, you come to [B]see
You just [C#m]stand there in the glass looking at[A] me
But my heart is [E]wild. And my bones [B]are steam
And I could [C#m]kill you with my bare hands if [A]I was free
