Female creature wilted high in the raftors

Orgies of dust and butterfly laughter

Shadows spilling into the babe's milk

Four blue plus two, that makes six

That's twelve times two

Two brown eyes, one green

Hazel's asleep in the hayloft
A                             Bm
Down the road drowning in dry grass

In the sweet maiden's lap poisened with nightshade

Witches last laugh

With a knapsack of trinkets

I'm off to seek my fortune again

Chasing ghosts of dead orphans

Friend, cousin, or kin

We wave to the passer by

Moth wings of a butterfly

Endless tracks where no car pass

Close your eyes and you can fly
    D
I'm off to meet my soul mate
   A
A naked fawny jailbait
Bm
Wading into ponds
           F#
Filled with pollywogs at dawn

Mournin' the light
      A
That slipped from my eyes

A little child with dirty nails
