Am E
From the dusty mesa
Dm Am
Her looming shadow grows
Am E
Hidden in the branches
Dm Am
Of the poison creosote
[Verse 2]
C
She twines her spines up slowly
G
Towards the boiling sun
Dm
And when I touched her skin
F Am
My fingers ran with blood
[Verse 3]
E
In the hushing dusk
Dm Am
Under a swollen silver moon
Am E
I came walking with the wind
Dm Am
To watch the cactus bloom
[Verse 4]
C
And strange hunger haunted me
G
The looming shadows danced
Dm
I fell down to the thorny brush
F Am
And felt a trembling hand
[Verse 5]
E
When the last light warms the rocks
Dm Am
And the rattlesnakes unfold
Am E
Mountain cats will come
Dm Am
To drag away your bones
[Verse 6]
C
And rise with me forever
G
Across the silent sand
Dm
And the stars will be your eyes
F Am
And the wind will be my hands
