[Fm] [G#] Left in the wings of [C#] a [Fm] sparrow,
[F#] Naked and sharp [C#] and narrow,
[G#] Sings in a whispering [C#] [Fm] whistle,
[F#] Sleeps in
[C#] a thistle,
[G#] Owls out swooping and [C#] [Fm]
howling,
[F#] Beating the midnight [C#] traffic,
[G#] Mama, the scream of [C#] the [Fm]
eagles,
[F#] Threading my [C#] heart,
[G#] Threading the blood to [C#] the [Fm] echo,
[F#] Stuck in the gear,
[C#]
[G#] Eating the seeds of [C#] the [Fm] echo,
[F#] Burying the tree of [C#] the echo,
[G#] Trapped in the weeds like a [C#] [Fm]
scarecrow,
[Gm] Stuck in the gear,
[C#]
[G#] Distantly hearing [C#] the bell [Fm]
toll,
[F#] A whole wing chimed to [C#] the neck,
[G#] Mama, the scream [C#] of the eagles,
[Fm]
[F#]
[C#]
[G#] Threading the blood [Fm] to the echo,
[F#] The dukes from [C#] the
[G#] echo,
Nakedly running in the last [Fm] hour,
[F#] A boy chasing after [C#] two stallers,
[G#] I wish I'd had spoken to [C#] [Fm] call her,
[F#] Before they found fabric [C#] to strut harder,
[G#] Breastbound and burdened [C#] with fiber,
[Fm] [F#] Adam came trembling [C#] beside,
[G#] Breastbound and burdened [C#] with [Fm] fiber,
[F#] Adam came trembling [C#] beside,
[Fm]
