        VERSE

Dm             C        Gm
From the dusty mesa the looming shadow grows

Dm            C          Gm
Hidden in the poison creosote

Dm             C            Gm
In the hushing dusk under a swollen silver moon

       Dm               C                        Gm
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom



        CHORUS

    F                   
She twines her spines up slowly

   C   
To ward the boiling sun

    Gm
And when I touched her skin

   Bb
My fingers ran with blood

   F
Oh rise with me forever

 C
Across the silent sand

        Gm
And the stars will be your eyes

        Bb
And the wind


Will be my hand

           Dm    
Will by my hand

        VERSE

Dm             C               Gm
Strange hunger haunted me, the looming shadows danced

     Dm                 C                          Gm
Fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand

             Dm                   C             Gm
And when the last light warms the rocks and the rattle snakes unfold

Dm                C              Gm
Cats will come to drag away your bones




        CHORUS

    F                   
She twines her spines up slowly

   C   
To ward the boiling sun

    Gm
And when I touched her skin

   Bb
My fingers ran with blood

   F
Oh rise with me forever

 C
Across the silent sand

        Gm
And the stars will be your eyes

        Bb
And the wind


Will be my hand

           Dm    
Will by my hand
