C F G
You came down from heaven to the branch outside my window
C G F
Your feathers were the color of snow
G C F
The dice were loaded against us ever seeing each other
C F
But one of us had nowhere else to go
[Verse 2]
C F G
In your eyes were all the colors the rainbow forgot
C G F
Your wingspan was three feet wide or better
C G F C
With your voice practicing notes from time's own beginning
F G
You took apart the alphabet letter by letter
[Verse 3]
C G F
And here, where it all stops for 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
