enough

Bb                      d
scratching at the surface
Eb               Bb     
so hard it bleeds

pickled yellow lemon rinds
Eb                     Bb                    
overwhelmed in sugar

g    F  g                  F7

for the swishing wash of tide
 g   F     g     F
enough, enough

to drain the vinegar
g     d(sus) Bb  F
into brine

stop and be content
     Eb                 Bb
as memories will fade
           Bb             d
more quickly than blossoms

back to wine
