VERSE
DmCGm
From the dusty mesa the looming shadow grows
DmCGm
Hidden in the poison creosote
DmCGm
In the hushing dusk under a swollen silver moon
DmCGm
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom
F
She twines her spines up slowly
C
To ward the boiling sun
Gm
And when I touched her skin
Bb
My fingers ran with blood
F
Oh rise with me forever
C
Across the silent sand
Gm
And the stars will be your eyes
Bb
And the wind
Will be my hand
Dm
Will by my hand

Strange hunger haunted me, the looming shadows danced
DmCGm
Fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand
DmCGm
And when the last light warms the rocks and the rattle snakes unfold
DmCGm
Cats will come to drag away your bones
F
She twines her spines up slowly
C
To ward the boiling sun
Gm
And when I touched her skin
Bb
My fingers ran with blood

Oh rise with me forever

Across the silent sand

And the stars will be your eyes

And the wind
Will be my hand
