Am E From the dusty May sun Dm Am Her looming shadow grows Am E Hidden in the branches Dm Am of the poison creosote 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 Am 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 C A strange hunger haunted me, G The looming shadows danced Dm I fell down to the thorny brush F Am And felt a trembling hand Am 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 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
