I've been
struck dumb by a voice that
speaks from deep
beneath the cold black water
G---------------------------------------------------------------------
D-*-------------------------------------------------7-----------------
A-*-----3---6-------------5====-------------6-6-6p5---5---------------
D---5h7---0-----0----------------0------------------------------------
It's twice as clear as heaven
It's deep and rich like silt on a riverbed
the currents mouth below me

A------3---6-------------5====-------------6-6-6\3-3\---------*-------

and twice as loud as reason
and just as undisturbing (?)
opens up around me
G----------------------------------------------------5h7--------------

A------3---6-------------5====-------------6-6-6----------------------

suggests and beckons all while swallowing
G---------------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------------------------
A------3---6-------------5====-------------6-6-6\3-3\-----------------

It surrounds and drowns and sweeps me away
