So, [B]
this is a long time coming.
[F#] [B]
[F#] [B] How the creek turns shallow and sandy.
The moon comes skimming away the stars.
When the mesquite comes rushing over the hilltops.
Straight into [E] my arms.

[F#] I'm [B] riding hard carrying a catch of roses.
And a fresh map that I [F#] made.
Now [B] I'm going to get birth naked and bury my old soul.
And dance [E] on its grief.

[E] [A] [B]
[F#] [B] need your arms, I can't see a beard.
Where the short Orion [F#] sweeps.

We're cracking like cross wires.
And you're breathing and you're asleep.
You're breathing and you're asleep.
[F#] I was just a [B] spark, a campfire left burning.
Two kids in a sleeping bag [F#] inside.
[Bm] I reached beneath your shirt and laid my hands across [E] your belly and feel.
Another one kicking inside.
I ain't gone.
