From the [E] dusty mason, her looming shadow [Am] grows, hidden in [E] the branches of [Dm] the poison tree [Am] of the [C] forest.
She twines her smile, the slowly [G] dawn's boiling sun, [Dm] and when I touched her skin, [F] my fingers ran [Am] afloat.
In the hushing [E] dusk under a swollen silver moon, I came walking [E] in the forest, and I
was looking for a place to rest a minute, to watch the cactus [Am] bloom.
[C] A strange hunger haunted [G] me, and looming shadows danced.
[Dm] I fell down to the thorny [F] brush, and felt a trembling hand.
[Am]
When the [E] land like water [A] rots and rattlesnakes [Am]
unfold,
the wind [E] [Dm] rises with me, and the grass is like heavy [Am]
bones.
[C] Then the winds will bleed forever, [G] and the frost and the silence will end, [Dm] and the stars
will be gone, [F] and the wind will be my hand.
