he kissed her once as she leaned 
         C          G Am C
on the windowsill
G                         Am     
she'll never love him but knows 
         C      G     Am C
that her father will
G                        Am      
her fallen fruit is all rotten in
      C
 the middle but her
G             Am              C
breast never dries when he's hungry

G Am C x2


the money came and she died in her 
rocking chair
the window wide and the rain in her 
braided hair
a letter locked in the pattern of 
her knuckle
like a hymn to the house she was 
making

G                     Am         
blind and whistling just around 
    C
the corner and there's a
G             Am        C
wind that is whispering something
G                       Am  
strong as hell but not hickory 
    C
rooted

she kissed him once cause he gave 
her a cigarette
and turned around but he waits like 
a turned down bed
and summer left like her walking 
with another and a
sound of a church bell ringing

G Am C x2

the money came and he died like a 
butterfly
a buried star and the haze of the 
city lights
a gun went off and her mother 
dropped her baby on the
blue feathered wing - we were lucky
