_ _ _ _ From the [E] dusky mason, [Dm] her looming shadow [Am] grows
Hidden [E] in the branches [Dm] of a poisoned [Am] creosote
She _ [C]
dwindles by the slowly, [G] the war's boiling sun
[Dm]
Then when I touched her skin, [F] my fingers ran [Am] numb
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ In the hushing dusk under a [Dm] swollen silver moon
[A] I came [E] walking with friend [Dm] to watch the [Am] cactus bloom
_ [C] A strange one departed [G] me, her looming shadow stands
[Dm] I fell down to the thorny [F] brush and felt a trembling [Am] hand
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When the lab pack [E] warms her arms and [A] rattleskins unfold
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
Then [C] rise with me for the queen [G] of the castle's lion's lair
[Dm] And the stars will be mine, [F] and the wind will be my hand
