G#m D#m From the dusty mesa C#m G#m Her looming shadow grows G#m D#m Hidden in the branches C#m G#m of the poison creosote B She twines her spines up slowly F# Towards the boiling sun C#m And when I touched her skin E G#m My fingers ran with blood G#m D#m In the hushing dusk C#m G#m Under a swollen silver moon G#m D#m I came walking with the wind C#m G#m To watch the cactus bloom B And strange hunger haunted me, F# The looming shadows danced C#m I fell down to the thorny brush E G#m And felt the trembling hands G#m D#m When the last light warms the rocks C#m G#m And the rattlesnakes unfold G#m D#m Mountain cats will come C#m G#m to drag away your bones B And rise with me forever F# Across the silent sand C#m And the stars will be your eyes E G#m And the wind will be my hands
