wiping the eastbound dust from his sunburned brow
A
a life before doubt.

I smell the engine grease and mint the wind is blending

under the moan of rotting elm in the silo floor
D    A

Down a hill of pine tree   quills we made our way
E      B                            E -  D     A
to the bottom and the ferns where thick moss   grows
A
beside a stream.

You were no ordinary drain on her defenses
G               A        D        F#       G
and she was no ordinary girl Oh, Inverted World
           A             G                  A
if every moment of our lives were cradled softly
G                    A                  D
   in the hands of a strange and gentle child
         F#      G
I'd not roll my eyes
E       G
so.
 
E       G
