Am
"Your legs walked your heart high
Am G Fmaj7
Your whole body, sprawling out, made your view wide"
[Verse 1]
C Dm Am
I'm on a boulder over alpine tops I'm peeking
Am G Fmaj7
I watched you across the water in the evening
(I watched you from above)
Am G Fmaj7
Into my eye your grays and blues were blown
(To your eyes I'm blown)
Am G Fmaj7
The something that I held onto is leaving
Am G Fmaj7
The shape to what I saw has slowly grown
[Interlude]
Fmaj7
You're higher on your hill
G
So your Big Black Cloud will come
Am
So your Big Black Cloud will come
G
And press you to the ground
Fmaj7
The air will leave your chest
G
You'll fade from where you're found
Am
When you find you're standing still
G
And your fingers all go numb
Fmaj7
Get higher on your hill
G
So your Big Black Cloud will come
Am
So your Big Black Cloud will come
G
And press you to the ground
Fmaj7
The air will leave your chest
G
You'll fade from where you're found
Am
When you're finally standing still
G
And your fingers all go numb
Fmaj7
Get higher on your hill
G
So your Big Black Cloud will come
So your Big Black Cloud will
[Verse 2]
Gm
Rah! Do you see what happens?
Gm
Do you see what happens?!
Gm
When the Big Black Death
N.C.
Breathes on you with his breath
Gm
I'm wild and woolly
N.C.
A bloating bully
Gm
I'll strike you down and then
N.C.
I'll strike you down again
N.C.
Do you see what happens? (What?)
N.C.
Do you see what happens? (What?!)
N.C.
When I peel away your bark
N.C.
And stain your blue sky dark
Gm
[Verse 3]
Gm
Your breath I take to live
Gm
Your Death I ache to give
Gm
So take me in and crumble
N.C.
Be smothered in my rumble!
Gm
My flash of thunder booms
Gm
Your lack of wonder looms
Gm
I press you to the ground
N.C.
You'll fade from where you're found
Gm

Cmaj7
The way they share
Em Fmaj7
(The flesh we tear so innocent of memory)
Cmaj7 Em Fmaj7
They feast
(we feast)
Dm Em
They invite each bite
(We invite each bite)
Fmaj7
Into flight
(Into our flight)
Dm Em
Since blood, now wind
(We give our blood to you)
Fmaj7 G Em
And feathers from skin begin
(And feathers from skin begin)
Em
I am the twilight upon the porch
Em
A leaf falls into your lap
Em
I am the candle falling
Em
Your hands gripping the tablecloth
Fmaj7 Dm Em
Your eyes only three years old
Fmaj7 Em Dm
The way they share
Dm
The memory you did wear
Fmaj7 Em Dm
And now your song
Dm Em
Is inside them
