Snow Owl

  C                             
You came down from heaven to the 
   F                  G
branch outside my window
 C                      G        F
Your feathers were the color of snow
     G               C             
The dice were loaded against us ever
F
 seeing each other
     C                         F
But one of us had nowhere else to go

[Verse 2]
          C                F      
In your eyes were all the colors 
             G
the rainbow forgot
       C             G            
Your wingspan was three feet wide 
    F
or better
 C          G                  
With your voice practicing notes 
       F               C
from time's own beginning
  F                         G
You took apart the alphabet letter 
by letter


[Verse 3]
     C          G              
And here, where it all stops for 
    F
good
  C                   F
Where the cool waters run
   C                    G
Thought I saw a mouse kicking in 
your beak
         C    G      F
It was only a skele-ton
